Washing Clothes on Chol Hamoed
Question
I am staying far from home and forgot to bring extra shirts. I have only one shirt, and it got dirty on Shabbat. Is it permissible to wash it or buy a new one? Thank you.
Answer
Hello,
You may buy one.
If you cannot find where to buy, in this case, it is permissible to wash it for wearing during the festival.
