#220 Wearing a rain coat that changes in the rain on Shabbos
Question
My daughter has a grey rain coat that when it gets wet in the rain, has a pattern of black flowers that become visible, and goes away when it dries. Can this be worn on Shabbos? Are the flowers becoming visible considered painting or dyeing?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit"a opinion is that if you wear the coat without specific intention of the fabric changing or showing hidden designs when it becomes wet, it is permitted to use on Shabbos.
