Nine Days: Home Improvements

The Nine Days

Question

I understand that house improvments should not be done during the 9 days. But what if mistakenly someone cut material to make a carpet to enhance a room and placed it in the room. Upon realizing their mistake the carpet was removed , but is there any קנס to not use the carpet even after the 9 days?

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

You are correct that aesthetic home improvement should not be done during the Nine Days.

Yasher Ko’ach for removing the carpet.

There is no penalty after the Nine Days.
