Question
According to Chayei Adam, is the law of the Nine Days the same as that of Tisha B'Av, where it is forbidden even to dip a finger in water (for pleasure), or is there a difference?
Answer
Shalom Rav
I am not aware of where you got the idea that Chayei Adam is more stringent during the Nine Days.
