Sheets with lice – The Nine Days
Question
Is it permitted for me to change bed sheets during the Nine Days because there were lice?
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
It is permitted. One should slightly soil the sheets on the floor before spreading them out. Alternatively, begin using them on Shabbos, in which case one may use laundered clothes.
