#2793 Disregard Regards

Question

Some people in my shul say that you can greet someone on Tisha Beav after chatzos (midday), when they come to daven mincha. Is that correct?

Answer

The prohibition of greeting on Tisha Beav applies the complete day. (Piskei Teshuvos 554: n. 86).

Nitei Gavriel (Bein Hametzarim 2: 76: 2) permits after midday in need.

Horav Shlomo Millers Shlita opinion is similar.
