Hi,
One may not bathe in a tub on Shabbat, even in cold water. The sole exception is immersion in a mikvah for purification or as a special measure of piety.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 3:87)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Why can't you take a shower in cold water on Shabbos if you're really hot? Lo gazru b'makom tzaar.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure one may apply the principle of מקום צער to this case. As a general rule, where a גזירה was made for a situation which normally involves צער, it is understood that the גזירה is meant to include whatever level of צער is normal. (See, for example, Shemiras Shabbos k'Hilchasah 34, footnote 7.)
