Using liquid soap on Shabbat
Answered by Rav Adiria Pinchas Machine translation · Original
Question
May one use liquid soap on Shabbat as it is, or must one add a little water?
Answer
Shalom u'verachah, from a review of the responsa of the poskim it appears that one may use it as it is. And this is reasonable, since the concerns mentioned regarding the use of soap do not seem to apply to liquid soap.
