Question
Hello. A new wig was ordered before the 17th of Tammuz, and the stylist informed this week that the wig will be ready on Wednesday after Tisha B'Av. Should I tell her not to deal with the wig from today until after Tisha B'Av, or is the prohibition only during the week in which it falls? Refer to Orach Chaim 551:7 in the Rema, where it is written that it is customary to be lenient in this matter. And in the Mishnah Berurah there, Siman 551:51, and in the Biur Halacha there, at the beginning "Venahagu", where it is written that only during the week in which it falls. Is this similar? Thank you.
Answer
Hello
As you wrote, the Biur Halacha is stringent about this only during the week in which Tisha B'Av falls, not from Rosh Chodesh.
