When Tish\u2019a B\u2019Av<\/em> falls out on Shabbat<\/em>, it is postponed until Sunday. On that Shabbat<\/em>, we show no [outward] signs of mourning; rather, we eat and drink like we do on any other Shabbat<\/em>, even feasting like King Shlomo did in his day (see above 9.4).[27]<\/a><\/p>\n As we learned above (10.4), pregnant and nursing women must fast on Tish\u2019a B\u2019Av<\/em>. On a postponed fast, however, the law is more lenient, and if they feel slightly weak or if they experience some type of pain, they are exempt from fasting, even though they are not [actually] ill (B.H.<\/em> 559:9, s.v. ve\u2019eino<\/em>; K.H.C.<\/em> 75).<\/p>\n The main participants of a brit milah<\/em> [the father, the mohel<\/em>, and the sandak<\/em>] must fast on Tish\u2019a B\u2019Av<\/em>, but the law is more lenient when Tish\u2019a B\u2019Av<\/em> falls out on Shabbat<\/em> and the fast is postponed until Sunday. According to most poskim<\/em>, these participants may pray Minchah<\/em> after midday, perform the circumcision immediately afterwards, and then eat and drink. Some poskim<\/em> rule strictly on the matter. In practice, the prevalent custom is to perform the brit<\/em> towards the end of the day and eat the meal after the stars emerge.[28]<\/a><\/p>\n When Tish\u2019a B\u2019Av<\/em> falls out on Shabbat<\/em> and the fast is postponed until Sunday, the tenth of Av, the customs of mourning do not continue after the fast, and one is allowed to take a haircut, do laundry, and bathe in hot water once the stars emerge. However, many [authorities] maintain that one should refrain from eating meat and drinking wine that night. Since everyone fasted during the day, it is improper to immediately rejoice by consuming meat and wine (Rama<\/em> 558:1, M.B.<\/em> 4-5, Rav [Mordechai] Eliyahu\u2019s Hilchot Chagim<\/em> 29:9). Others permit the consumption of meat and wine immediately following the fast (R. Chayim Vital, Pri Chadash<\/em>, Torat HaMo\u2019adim<\/em> 11:8).<\/p>\n
