Question
I engage in daily sports activities which are necessary for my health. After the activity, the shirt becomes unwearable again... I don't have enough suitable shirts to prepare before the Nine Days. Is it permissible to wash and wear a clean shirt? Additionally, is it allowed to replace clean hand towels in honor of Shabbat Chazon? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
It is advisable to prepare before the Nine Days with a sufficient supply of shirts.
If one finds themselves during the Nine Days without a change of clothes, they may wash in a case of necessity.
It is permissible to replace towels in honor of Shabbat.
