Question
Is it permissible to accept Shabbat early and ask a friend to play music for me during the Three Weeks?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
The sages did not permit listening to music on Shabbat during the Three Weeks. [What was permitted in honor of Shabbat is allowed, but not what is unrelated to honoring Shabbat].
