Question
Our daughter was born on Tisha B'Av, and we want to hold her Bat Mitzvah as close to the date as possible. Nowadays, the 'custom of the world' is to make a clip with songs and movements, etc. The question is whether it is permissible to edit the clip during the Three Weeks. Although it is customary not to listen to music, in this case, the question is that for her and for us, listening is not for pleasure but rather for work purposes. Additionally, it should be noted that if we can create a worthy clip, it can also help her personally/emotionally, as she is usually introverted and quiet.
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is permissible to edit, but not to listen to the music for pleasure, only as preparatory work for the clip.
