Difference between Chanukah & Shabbos
candles
The Mishna Verurah
(sk 18) writes that מעיקר הדין the only oil that would be הוקצה למצותו is
the exact
amount of oil needed for the שיעור.
If this oil was leftover because the candle extinguished early then
the oil is Muktzah.
Extra oil poured into the
Menorah which is not needed for the שיעור is not הוקצה למצותו מעיקר הדין.
The M.V. continues
"There are Poskim who hold even if the extra oil becomes Muktza
unless he made a תנאי.
שסוברים
דאם נתן בסתם הקצה למצותה הכל:"
Perhaps the reason Poskim
hold this way is that since there are 8 days Chanukah, therefore, people intend
to light
the following night with the
oil left over from the previous night.
By continuing to reuse the
leftover oil every night it might be considered as if he was מקצה it בפירוש
and all oils in the Menorah
becomes Muktzah.
Whereas Neiros Shabbos
oil is only filled for one day use therefore on the leftover we apply
the עיקר הדין and only the
minimum שיעור is הוקצה למצותו
(doesn't exist anymore) and the rest that is leftover is not Muktzah. אמבצי
