Question

I bought a garment before the Three Weeks, and my sister wore it without knowing it was new. Is it permissible for me to wear it now, or is it considered as renewing it?

Answer

Shalom Rav

There is no problem wearing new clothes during the Three Weeks.

The issue is only with renewing clothes that require the blessing of "Shehecheyanu."

In this case, since the garment is used after washing, you are permitted to wear it even during the Nine Days.
