Question
The rabbi wrote that I can slightly moisten before the examination to avoid difficulty. What is the ruling on Shabbat?
Answer
On Shabbat, it is forbidden to wet any cloth with water due to concerns of laundering and wringing. Therefore, the only option is to moisten the body before the examination, not the cloth.
