Question
An Ashkenazi traveling from his home for a vacation (already booked) for a week and a half from the 10th of Av before noon, is he allowed to wash the dirty clothes from the Nine Days before midday on the 10th of Av? Is it permitted, and from when, and is there a difference between his clothes and the children's clothes?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
In a situation where it is not possible to wait until midday, it is permitted to do laundry as needed.
The permission, when there is no alternative, also applies to adult clothing.
