Question
We have a celebration on the 10th of Av, is it permissible to wash the wig today so it will dry by then? Is it permissible to wash the wig in honor of Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
Washing a wig is considered like laundering a garment.
Therefore, it is forbidden to wash the wig for a celebration that will occur after the 9th of Av, and it is also forbidden to wash it in honor of Shabbat.
It is forbidden to launder even after the fast, until midday on the 10th of Av. However, if there is an urgent need, laundering is permitted immediately after the fast. - The same rule applies to washing the wig.
