Question
Is there a ruling this year regarding the week in which Tisha B'Av falls?
Answer
This year (5782), when Tisha B'Av falls on Shabbat and is postponed to Sunday, the Shulchan Aruch presents two opinions on whether there is a week in which it falls. According to the law [based on the rule of 'stam and yesh', the law follows stam, and a God-fearing person will be stringent like yesh], the primary law follows the lenient opinion, and a blessing will come upon the stringent.
In a year when Tisha B'Av falls on a Sunday [and not postponed from Shabbat as this year], all opinions agree that there is no week in which it falls.
