Question

Is it permissible to renew clothes on weekdays during the counting of the Omer? (I do not recite the blessing 'Shehecheyanu' when I renew clothes, especially not for weekday clothes) Thank you very much.

Answer

Hello,

It is permissible to renew such clothes during the counting of the Omer.

As you wrote in the question, the general rule is that clothes for which the blessing 'Shehecheyanu' is recited should ideally not be renewed during the counting of the Omer, but clothes for which 'Shehecheyanu' is not recited can be renewed without issue.

Even clothes for which 'Shehecheyanu' is recited, if there is a need, it is permissible to renew and recite 'Shehecheyanu'.
