Baking Cakes for Sale on Tisha B'Av
Question
Greetings to the honorable Rabbi! A woman whose livelihood is baking homemade cakes for Shabbat wants to bake on Tisha B'Av after midday. Is this considered a matter of irrecoverable financial loss and therefore permitted, or is it considered being prevented from making a profit and thus forbidden? Please note that her husband also works, but this is part of their household income. Thank you.
Answer
Shalom!
She is allowed to bake from midday.
