Buying Clothes During the Nine Days Defined as 'Essential'
Question
Is there a permission during the Nine Days to buy new clothes if they are considered 'essential', or is the permission only for joyous transactions, unlike clothes which also have a prohibition on laundering?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
There is no prohibition on laundering when buying clothes, only when wearing them.
Therefore, this permission also applies to clothes.
