May one pour cold water on one's body and then warm oneself by the fire on Shabbat?
Synopsis
One may not pour cold water over the entire body and then stand by the fire, because this heats the water on the body and is considered as if bathing in hot water. However, warming oneself by the fire first and then pouring cold water is permitted.
