Question
Shalom and blessings. Regarding immersion on the night after Tisha B'Av this year, when its evening falls on the night after Shabbat. When should the preparations be made?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
According to the custom of the Sephardim, all preparations are made on the night after Tisha B'Av.
According to the custom of the Ashkenazim, all preparations are made on Friday, including: bathing, washing the hair, combing, cutting nails, removing hair, and brushing teeth. On the night after Tisha B'Av, one should only take a shower, brush teeth, lightly comb the hair, and inspect the body.
If it is difficult to organize on Friday, all preparations can be made on the night after Tisha B'Av, ensuring they last at least an hour. However, a woman who bathed on Friday can prepare on the night after Tisha B'Av for less than an hour. Also, if there is pressure at the mikvah, preparations can take less than an hour.
