HILCHOS SHABBOS: PIKUACH NEFESH AND REFUAH 1
Written by benolamhaba123, 19/11/2018
1) When sustaining a light, first degree burn, it is permissible to place the area that got the light burn directly under a stream of cold water,even for a prolonged time, in order to prevent blisters from forming on the skin and to otherwise dull the pain.
2) If the burn is so small that in all likelihood it will not cause blistering or other skin issues, and the only
reason it is being placed under the stream of water is to dull the pain, a Rav should be consulted as to the
permissibility of this remedy on Shabbos.
The Halachos are based on my personal understanding of the Halachic texts quoted, and are for learning purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.If
you have questions or require further source information, please email [email protected] and I will try to respond as soon as I can. For a
Halacha L’Ma’aseh Psak, please contact your local Orthodox Rabbi.
