Question
Is it permitted for a mourner on Tisha B'Av, when everyone is mourning, to return and sit in their usual place where they sat before the mourning?
Answer
On Tisha B'Av, it is permissible to be lenient because sitting on low chairs is considered a change of place, but during Mincha, one should change their place.
