Question
Hello and blessings regarding the fast of Tisha B'Av. I am nursing a 9-month-old baby who does not take a bottle at all. He eats solids but nurses most of the day. It is very difficult for me to fast; I become dehydrated quickly and can faint. I had mononucleosis when I was younger, and since then my body has become very weak. I do not fast on most fasts because of this, and it takes my body almost a week to recover afterward and return to normal. I would appreciate knowing what I should do about the fast of Tisha B'Av. Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello and blessings
In such a situation, you should not fast.
