Drying hands on tissue on shabbos

Question:

Dear Rabbi,
On shabbos, when drying hands using a tissue, is it a problem if the tissue rips?

Answer:

Not a problem because it is not certain that the tissue will tear. Also you have no intention to tear the tissue, on the contrary you do not what the tissue to tear.
