Question

Hello Rabbi, my wife needs to immerse on the night of Tisha B'Av. I know the immersion is postponed to the next day. The question is, when and how should she prepare?

Answer

Hello,
According to Ashkenazi custom, preparations should ideally be done on the eve of Tisha B'Av, including bathing, cutting nails, etc. After the fast, she should take a regular shower, comb her hair, and inspect her entire body.
According to Sephardic custom, preparations are done after the fast.
