Question

Good evening, I have grown children who are not yet weaned. Is it permissible for me to wash the dirty laundry these days because I fear that if the clothes and bed linens dry out by the end of Tisha B'Av, I will no longer be able to remove the smell from them. What should I do? Thank you very much and good evening.

Answer

Shalom and a good week

In the case where washing is necessary to prevent damage, it is permitted.
