# Any fast which one didn’t complete until [[Tzet HaKochavim]] is considered as though one didn't fast. <Ref> S”A 562:1 </ref> | # Any fast which one didn’t complete until [[Tzet HaKochavim]] is considered as though one didn't fast. <Ref> S”A 562:1. The Gemara in Taanit 12a says that the sun didn't set on is not considered a fast. Rabbeinu Yona quoted by the Rosh Shabbat 2:23 says from this gemara that the fast concludes at sunset. However, the Rosh himself in Taanit 1:12 says that the gemara is referring to the completion of the setting of the sun, namely tzet kavochavim. This is the source of the S"A 562:1. Aruch Hashulchan 562:9 and the Gra 562:2 say that since there are some rishonim who follow Rabbeinu Yona anyone who is lenient and relies on them should not be rebuked for it. see Aruch Hashulchan there who thinks this is also the opinion of the Rambam. </ref> | ||
# Even if Asara b'tevet falls out on a Friday one should fast until tzet hakovachim even though the fast would carry into shabbat. <ref> Shulchan Arukh 249:4. Rama there quotes an opinion that if you pray early and finish [[Mariv/Arvit|Arvit]] before [[Tzet HaKochavim]] you should eat, but then says that nevertheless on a public fast one should fast until [[Tzet HaKochavim]] and on a private fast, eat after davening. </ref> | # Even if Asara b'tevet falls out on a Friday one should fast until tzet hakovachim even though the fast would carry into shabbat. <ref> Shulchan Arukh 249:4.

# Some poskim says that one who travels during a fast, should finish the fast according to his arrival destination. <ref> Iggerot Moshe 3:96. This applies even if on Tisha B'av his fast will last less than 24 hours. However, Sh"t Yaskil Avdi 8:38 says that although the public fast ends according to the time of his place of arrival, an individual has a personal obligation to fast twenty hours on Tisha B'av and that he should continue fasting into the tenth of Av to complete his 24 hours. </ref> | |||
