סימן צח סעיף לד
הוֹצָאָה, מֻתֶּרֶת בְּיוֹם טוֹב, אֲפִלּוּ מַה שֶּׁאֵינוֹ לְצֹרֶךְ אֹכֶל נֶפֶשׁ, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיְהֵא בָּהּ אֵיזֶה צֹרֶךְ אַחֵר (כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתַבְתִּי בְּסָעִיף א'), אֲבָל שֶׁלֹּא לְצֹרֶךְ כְּלָל, אָסוּר לְהוֹצִיא כִּי אִם בְּמָקוֹם שֶׁמֻּתָּר לְהוֹצִיא בַּשַׁבָּת. וְגַם לְצֹרֶךְ אֹכֶל נֶפֶשׁ, כְּגוֹן כַּדֵי יַיִן, לֹא יִשָּׂא מַשָּׂא גָּדוֹל כְּמוֹ שֶׁהוּא עוֹשֶׂה בַּחֹל, אֶלָּא יְשַׁנֶּה. וְאִם אִי אֶפְשָׁר לְשַׁנּוֹת, כְּגוֹן שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ הַרְבֵּה אוֹרְחִים עוֹשֶׂה כְּדַרְכּוֹ (תק"י תקי"ח).
Carrying is permitted on Yom Tov. It is permitted to carry even things that are not needed for preparing food, provided there is some other need for it, but if it is totally unnecessary, it is forbidden to be carried out [of the house] unless it is to a place where you are permitted to carry on Shabbos.97See Chapter 94 about requirements of Eruv Chatzeiros (courtyards) and partnership in alleys. According to the Rif, Rambam, Rosh and Shulchan Aruch 528, you may carry in the courtyards and alleyways on Yom Tov, even without an eruv. The Rashbah and Rema 518:1 rule that it is not permitted. The Reshal says it is best to include Yom Tov in your erev chatzeiros etc., even though the halachah is like the Shulchan Aruch in this case. Concerning things that are needed for food, like kegs of wine, you should not carry as heavy a burden as you do on weekdays; but you should do it in a different way.98See Shulchan Aruch 510:8. If you are accustomed to carry four or five pitchers of wine, you should only carry one or two and you should not carry them in a basket made for carrying wine etc. This applies only when moving the wine etc. through alleyways where people frequent and may see you, but within your house or courtyard, you may carry it as you wish. If it is impossible to do it differently, as when you have many guests,99And you are in a hurry to serve them. you may carry it the usual manner.
