Question

Is it permissible for a woman to shower after the mikveh on Friday night?

Answer

Hello,

After she has been with her husband, even if it was only touching, she is permitted to wash herself.

When washing in cold water - according to Ashkenazi custom, only part of the body, not the whole body. According to Sephardi custom, even the whole body.

When washing in water heated before Shabbat - even for Sephardim, the permission is only for a minority of the body.
