Rabenu, let me add a question to my question. If one is usually machmir (stringent) and begins the Taanis (fasting day) already from the night, does that also apply in our year when there is a mitzva of Melave Malka, and we always celebrate it with a very nice and attended group?
Do we say that since he has done it three years it became like a Neder or promise to keep, that includes this year Motzei Shabbat also?
A. See question 5492 above, that in our case this year on Motzei Shabbos, when a meal of Melave Malka is necessary, it takes precedence and priority to the fasting of the day.
