May one wear water-drenched clothing on Shabbat, and may one spread clothing to dry?
Synopsis
The Mechaber permits wearing drenched clothes without concern for wringing, but forbids spreading them to dry due to mar'is ayin (appearance of having laundered). This applies even in private chambers. Clothes spread before Shabbat need not be removed.
