Question

A person who is abroad during the Nine Days and plans to return to Israel within the Nine Days, and the prices of clothes there are cheaper compared to Israel. Is it permissible to buy in order to wear after the Nine Days, or is a significant discount also required there?

Answer

Hello,

There is no difference between Israel and abroad in this matter, and it is forbidden to buy unless it is a special opportunity for a discount.
