27. Using a hot Mikveh on Shabbat
It is a Chassidic custom to dip in a Mikveh (ritual bath) on Shabbat in the morning before prayer. Is it permissible to use a hot Mikveh or must one dip in a cool or lukewarm one because of the decree against using bath-houses.
Answer: One may dip in a hot Mikveh on Shabbat in the morning, however one must be careful to dip only, and not remain in the water afterwards.
