Question
Is it permissible for a woman to change socks during the days of Shiva, and if there is dryness on the face and she regularly uses face cream, is it allowed? Thank you.
Answer
Hello Rabbi
Using face cream for dryness is permitted as it is considered medicinal application.
To change socks, someone else should wear them first, and if that's not possible, it's sufficient to dirty them on the floor.
