Family Celebration on Shabbat
Question
My extended family wants to attend my grandparents' wedding celebration being held at a large villa, and Shabbat falls on Rosh Chodesh Av. The family wants to arrive on Thursday in order to be able to be at the pool. Is there a problem with this?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
There is no prohibition in this.
However, it is advisable to choose another Shabbat.
