Question
Is it permitted to buy new clothes during the Three Weeks? And is it allowed to wear clothes? And is it permitted to renew on Rosh Chodesh?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is not permitted to buy or renew important clothes that require the blessing 'Shehecheyanu' during the days of Bein HaMetzarim.
Clothes that do not require the blessing of Shehecheyanu are permitted.
It is not allowed to buy or wear new clothes on Rosh Chodesh Av, and on the contrary, from Rosh Chodesh Av, stricter mourning laws begin, and even wearing freshly laundered old clothes is not allowed.
