Question
Is it permitted to do laundry on the eve of Tisha B'Av that falls on Shabbat?
Answer
According to Ashkenazi custom, it is forbidden to do laundry from the beginning of the month of Av. According to Sephardic custom, it is only forbidden during the week in which Tisha B'Av falls. Therefore, in a year when Tisha B'Av falls on Shabbat, it is permitted to do laundry until Shabbat.
