Question
I would like to know about using wet wipes on Shabbat. Is there a difference between wiping gently and forcefully? What is the rabbi's opinion on wipes approved for use on Shabbat? Thank you.
Answer
Shalom and blessings
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, there is no permission to use wet wipes on Shabbat, even if wiping gently, and the rabbi did not permit the wipes marketed as kosher for Shabbat.
The only way to use wipes without concern is if a little water and liquid soap are applied to the area, and then wipes can be used for cleaning.
