May one bathe in hot springs of Tiberias in a roofed/enclosed area where sweating will occur?
Synopsis
There is a dispute whether bathing in hot springs is permitted in a roofed/enclosed area where sweating will result. One view forbids it because sweating on Shabbat is prohibited; another view permits sweating from hot springs since the water itself is permitted.
