May one bathe one's entire body on Shabbat in water heated before Shabbat?
Synopsis
Bathing the entire body (or majority of it) in fire-heated water is forbidden even if the water was heated before Shabbat, even limb by limb, whether in a vessel or in the ground. This is a rabbinic decree lest people come to heat water on Shabbat itself.
