Question

Is it permitted to do laundry today?

Answer

Shalom u'vracha

For Ashkenazim, it is forbidden to do laundry from the beginning of the month of Av.

For Sephardim, the prohibition is only during the week in which Tisha B'Av occurs.

Therefore, this year, when Tisha B'Av falls on a Sunday, according to the Sephardic custom, it is permitted to do laundry on all days except Tisha B'Av itself.
