Question
Hello, is it permitted to renew pots/new utensils during the Nine Days? Thank you
Answer
There is no prohibition on renewing a regular pot, and if it brings great joy to the housewife, it is advisable to postpone it, but there is no obligation.
The prohibition is on purchasing new utensils when it is an item of joy, such as a prestigious silver or valuable item, which is forbidden according to all opinions, and regarding other utensils, there is a dispute.
There is also a prohibition on an important item for which the blessing 'Shehecheyanu' is recited upon its renewal.
In case of necessity, one may even purchase, but if there is no urgent need, the purchase should be postponed.
