Postponing Immersion in the Mikveh to Friday Night

Question

If the night of immersion in the mikveh this year falls when Tisha B’Av is on Thursday, and there is concern that the woman will not feel well (as is usually the case after a fast), may the immersion be postponed to Friday night, or is it preferable to postpone it until Saturday night?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

If it is difficult for her to immerse on Friday night, it is permitted to postpone the immersion to the night of Shabbat.
