Shower On Tisha Be'av
Question
I am not fasting with a rabbis permission and I’m gonna go running can I take a cold purely functional shower or I have to wait until after chatzos
Answer
Thank you for your question.
It is not appropriate to run on Tisheh Be'av, since it distracts one from mourning of the Beis Hamikdash, and it is forbidden to take a shower even a cold one on Tisha Be'av.
