Sleeping in the same bed on Tisha B'Av night
Question
In the case of a bed that is difficult to separate, is it permissible for a couple to sleep in it without separating it, and is it sufficient to slightly separate the mattresses? Thank you.
Answer
It is not sufficient. On the night of Tisha B'Av, one must behave regarding sleeping in the same bed as during a time when intimacy is prohibited.
