Question
I am a postpartum woman within a week of giving birth. Is there a way I can bathe on Shabbat using hot water from the solar heater?
Answer
You may bathe with hot water, opening and closing the tap with a change by using your elbow. [A postpartum woman up to a month after giving birth may also be lenient if there is no other way to provide her with hot water].
