Question
Question for the Rabbi, shlita: Is it permitted on Shabbat to wipe hands with a towel that is placed on a boiler and remains on the boiler? Thank you very much.
Answer
Shalom Rav,
If the towel is heated to a temperature at which the hand recoils (approximately 40 degrees), it is forbidden to wipe, because the water absorbed in the towel is cooked.
