Vacation at the Beginning of the Month of Av

Question

Our extended family wants to rent a villa for the 50th wedding anniversary of our grandparents over the weekend, on Shabbat, and it falls on the eve of the month of Av. Is there a problem with this (we already plan to arrive on Thursday and be there by the pool, etc.)?

Answer

Hello,

There is no prohibition in this.

However, it is better to choose another Shabbat.
