# One should not bathe a child on tisha b'av. If they are dirty it is permitted to clean the area that is dirty. If they are so dirty that it is difficult to just clean that area it is permitted to bath their whole body.<ref>Halichot Emet 25:4 p. 175 writes that one should not bathe a child even if they did not reach chinuch on tisha b'av unless they are dirty. Hatipul Btinokot p. 266 writes that if a child is very dirty and it is hard to clean each area that's dirty it is permitted to bathe their whole body on tisha b'av. He bases his idea on Mishna Brurah 613:1 by yom kippur.</ref> | |||
