A Single Pair of Trousers that Became Dirty During the Nine Days
Question
An adult man (above the age of Bar Mitzvah) has a single pair of trousers that cannot be worn due to excessive dirt and sweat. Is it permitted to buy another pair or to launder the existing pair [during the Nine Days]?
Answer
Greetings,
In such a situation, it is permitted to launder them; but one should wash and dry discreetly.
