# | #Many poskim hold that it is permitted to wear freshly laundered undergarments which are designed to absorb sweat such as undershirts and socks during the nine days.<ref>Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Halichot Shlomo 14:12), Rav Efraim Greenblatt (Rivevot Efraim 3:340), Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky (Kovetz Halachot 11:23), and Rav Ovadia Yosef ([http://halachayomit.co.il/EnglishDisplayRead.asp?readID=2087 Rav Ovadia Yosef on halachayomit.co.il] quoting Chazon Ovadia pg. 229). Rav Ovadia holds that it is better if possible to prepare non-laundered clothing from before.</ref> Others are strict.<ref>[http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=3319 Rabbi Eli Mansour] in the name of the Ben Ish Chai, Chacham Bentzion Abba Shaul (Or Letzion 3, p. 248) and the English Yalkut Yosef (pg. 207). Dirshu 551:40 quotes Minchat Yitzchak 10:44 who is also strict.</ref> According to this strict view, there is a dispute if it is permitted to throw the freshly laundered undergarments on the floor so that they get a little dirty before wearing them.<ref>Dirshu 551:40 quotes Rav Nissim Karelitz as permitting this and Rav Chaim Kanievsky and Or Letzion forbidding it.</ref> | ||
#Many poskim permit even laundering undergarments during the nine days if they are very dirty and he doesn't have others to wear.<ref>Dirshu 551:40 quoting Or Letzion 3:27:1. Similarly, Shoneh Halachot (Torat Hamoadim 551 fnt. 62 p. 135) quotes that Rav Chaim Kanievsky allowed laundering undergarments that were so sweaty that they couldn't be worn otherwise. Rav Shlomo Miller (Shoshanat Yisrael 4:25) allowed laundering undergarments during the nine days if he doesn't have enough. It is preferable to launder it with just water. However, Rav Tukachinsky (Halichot Ben Hametzarim p. 46 5:51) disagreed.</ref> | |||
