If a Jew transgressed and rented out a bathhouse in a forbidden situation, is the rent money permitted or forbidden?
Synopsis
The Rema cites two views: some say the rent is permitted, others say forbidden. The acharonim distinguish between cases where the prohibition was only rabbinic (marit ayin) versus cases where it was a din-level prohibition.
