Question
Hello Rabbi! A woman who has given birth and there is a brit milah this coming Shabbat, with God's help, is it permissible to send a wig for washing in honor of the brit, considering the Nine Days?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
Washing a wig is considered like laundering.
Only if it is impossible to wear the wig as it is, is it permitted to wash it.
[As in the case of someone whose Shabbat suit got dirty and has no other to wear on Shabbat].
