Question
A girl wants to buy everyday clothes now; she has a credit in a certain store, and if she waits until after the 9th of Av, she might lose the credit. Is she allowed to buy?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
Between the 17th of Tammuz and Rosh Chodesh Av, it is permitted to buy clothes.
If it is important clothing on which one recites the blessing 'Shehechiyanu', it should not be worn for the first time until after the 9th of Av.
If it is not such important clothing, on which 'Shehechiyanu' is not recited, it is permitted to wear it for the first time during these days.
