#5996- A Piece on the Hairpiece!
Question
Dear Rov. Is it permitted for a woman to wear a freshly washed sheitl during the Nine Days.
Answer
On question 201 we wrote: Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit”a ruled that you can use a freshly washed and set wig for Shabbos Chazon, even if it coincides with Tisha B’av.
However, during the rest of the Nine Days, it would only be permitted if the wig was too dirty to wear otherwise. (See also Kovetz Halachos (Bein Hamitzarim) Chapter 13(11-14), NItei Gavriel 37-9.A
