Question
Is it permitted for an Ashkenazi to give a Sephardic woman clothing to iron before the week in which Tisha B’Av falls, if he intends to use the ironed clothing only after Tisha B’Av?
Answer
Greetings and blessings
It is forbidden, since even to a non-Jew (lehavdil) it is forbidden to give clothing to be laundered from Rosh Chodesh Av onward.
