#In the Nine Days in particular, it is forbidden to buy new clothes even if there is no Shehechiyanu. <ref>Rama 551:7 </ref> This practice applies to Ashkenazim and also Sephardim.<ref>The Rama 551:7 writes that since it is forbidden to mend a garment during the nine days, certainly it is forbidden to buy a new garment then. The Kaf Hachaim 551:21 explains that according to Shulchan Aruch this is permitted. Shulchan Aruch 551:2 only forbids buying items during the nine days if it leads to happiness such as buying an item for a wedding, but not in general. This also seems to be the opinion of the Ben Ish Chai (Shana Rishona, Devarim no. 2). See, however, Shulchan Aruch 554:22. Mikraei Kodesh (Ben Hametzarim 13:2) quotes Rav Mordechai Eliyahu as being strict about buying garments during the nine days and Rav Ovadia Yosef as being lenient. Yet, Chazon Ovadia (Ben Hametzarim p. 208) seems to accept the custom that one should be strict not to buy new garments during the nine days. Or Letzion 3:26:2 is strict.</ref> | #In the Nine Days in particular, it is forbidden to buy new clothes even if there is no Shehechiyanu. <ref>Rama 551:7 </ref> This practice applies to Ashkenazim and also Sephardim.<ref>The Rama 551:7 writes that since it is forbidden to mend a garment during the nine days, certainly it is forbidden to buy a new garment then.

#The Ashkenazic minhag is not to wear new clothing during the Nine Days includes Shabbat of the Nine Days.<ref>Magen Avraham 551:7 and Mishna Brurah 551:9 write that it is forbidden to wear new garments during the Nine Days including Shabbat. Even though the Biur Halacha 551:6 s.v. kelim says it is permitted to wear a new undershirt on Shabbat Chazon, the Piskei Teshuvot 551:26 quotes Rav Sraya Deblitzky in his sefer Tisha Bav Shechal Byom Eched who is bothered by the seeming contradiction in the Mishna Brurah.</ref> | #The Ashkenazic minhag is not to wear new clothing during the Nine Days includes Shabbat of the Nine Days.<ref>Magen Avraham 551:7 and Mishna Brurah 551:9 write that it is forbidden to wear new garments during the Nine Days including Shabbat.

==The Week Tisha B'av Falls Out== | |||
# Sephardim may not cut their hair, shave, do laundry, or wear newly laundered clothing the week of Tisha B'av.<ref>Mishna Tanit 26b, Rambam Taniyot 5:6, Shulchan Aruch O.C. 551:3</ref> Ashkenazim are strict about hair cutting and shaving for all Three Weeks and laundry for all Nine Days.<ref>Rama 551:4</ref> | |||
# If Tisha B'av falls out on Shabbat and is pushed off until Sunday, according to Sephardim the practices of the weeks before Tisha B'av do not apply that year.<ref>Rabbi Ba in Yerushalmi Tanit 4:6 explains that if Tisha B'av falls out on Shabbat and the fast is delayed until Sunday the restrictions of the week of Tisha B'av don't apply. The Rosh (Tanit 4:32) and Ran (Tanit 9b s.v. yerushalmi) accept the Yerushalmi. However, the Smag (Asin Derabbanan 3) writes the minhag is to forbid the entire week of Tisha B'av even when it falls out on Shabbat. Hagahot Maimiyot (Taniyot 5:5), Smak 96, and Kol Bo (Feldheim 5769 Edition, 62 s.v. vkesat, fnt. 148) agree. Shulchan Aruch O.C. 551:4 rules like the Yerushalmi. Rama is strict because either way Ashkenazim don't launder clothing or wear laundered clothing for all Nine Days and don't cut their hair all Three Weeks.</ref> | |||
