Question
Hello, Is it permissible to go buy a sofa during the Nine Days? A. I don't have the opportunity to reach the specific store I usually go to, and only because of a trip for a certain purpose to that area is it possible. B. The sofa will probably not arrive during the Nine Days, and even if it does, it will not be used until after Tisha B'Av. Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello and blessings
It is permissible for two reasons:
A. When there is a special opportunity for a purchase during the Nine Days, it is permitted.
B. Ordering during the Nine Days, and the item arriving afterward, is permitted. Because the acquisition only takes place at the time of arrival.
