# Although some are strict to observe all of the stringencies of Tishba BeAv on the other fast days, these stringencies don’t apply to Tanit Ester. <Ref>The Mishna Brurah 550:6 quotes the Eliyah Rabba as saying that a righteous person (Baal Nefesh) should be strict to observe all of the 5 prohibited pleasures of [[Tisha BeAv]] on [[Shiva Asar BeTamuz]], [[Asara BeTevet]], and [[Tzom Gedalya]]. The Beiur Halacha 551 s.v. MeRosh Chodesh also quotes this. Rav Soloveitchik (cited in Nefesh Harav page 196) explained that this stringency doesn't apply to Tanit Ester, which is a fast of happiness and not [[mourning]] (see above). Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Halichot Shlomo 18:6) agrees. </ref>
