# 3265 The Able Avel II
Question
Can an Avel get an aliya on Tisha Beav?
Answer
See question 3264 above regarding the attendance of an Avel to shul during Tisha Beav,
Nitei Gavriel (Ben Hametzarim 2: 60: 11) quotes a number of Poskim that permit an Avel to receive an aliya and even have Maftir or be the Baal Koreh during Tisha Beav (Machazik B’rocho 554, Lev Chayim 2: 167, Shaarei Rachamim 8: 158).
The main reason given is that on that day everyone is also in mourning.
