Question
My wife is used to eating the food her mother prepared for the evening every Friday before Shabbat, and this week she misses it and craves it. Is it permitted because she is in her seventh month of pregnancy, or does the prohibition against eating meat apply to everyone?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
For those who observe the custom of not eating meat from the beginning of the month of Av, it is not permitted.
Unless there is a medical need for strengthening, etc.
