Question
What is the custom this year regarding Havdalah when Tisha B'Av falls on Motzei Shabbat?
Answer
Shalom and blessings,
Many have the custom that the person making Havdalah drinks the cup of wine or grape juice. He may drink the entire cup, not just the minimum required amount.
In Havdalah on Motzei Shabbat during the Nine Days, some give the cup to a child who has reached the age of education but does not yet know how to mourn for Jerusalem. However, it is important to ensure that the child has reached the age of education and that the child drinks a full mouthful. Since it is unclear what age a child who does not know how to mourn for Jerusalem is, many are lenient, as explained.
