Typing on Tisha B'Av
Question
Is it permissible for a typist to type word of Torah on Tisha B'Av if the typist does not understand what is written?
Answer
In such a case, the typist does not have the problem of studying Torah (which is forbidden on Tisha B'Av). However, in terms of work on Tisha B'Av, it is forbidden before midday. After midday, it is only permitted if she does not settle herself for long work.
