Question
Hello, I would like to ask if it is permissible on Shabbat to hang soap on the side of the toilet, so that with each flush, soap is released and disinfects the area? Best regards, H.K. Modiin Illit
Answer
Hello
There are two types of toilet soaps: those that only provide fragrance, which are permitted on Shabbat.
However, there are those that also color the water, and these are prohibited on Shabbat.
