Laundry on Tisha B’Av
Question
Is it permitted to do laundry on Tisha B’Av after midday?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
It is forbidden to do laundry on Tisha B’Av.
In a regular year, it is forbidden to do laundry until the 10th of Av at midday.
This year, since the 10th of Av falls on Erev Shabbat, it is permitted to do laundry immediately after the fast ends, in honor of Shabbat.
