Question
If one sees the Western Wall during the seven days following Shavuot, must they tear their garment, or is it considered like a holiday?
Answer
One must tear their garment
Source
It is clear that it is considered a regular day when one must tear their garment. This rule is not dependent on whether Tachanun is recited, but on when a mourner tears, and certainly, a mourner tears during these days.
