#Some poskim | #Some poskim hold that if one is exempt from fasting on Tisha B'av, he need not eat in increments.<ref>Sh”t Maharam Shick 289 says that just like on [[Yom Kippur]] the halacha is that if it will not increase the danger by eating in small increments he must do so (Shulchan Aruch O.C. 618:7), the same applies to Tisha B’av. However, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Nishmat Avraham v. 4 554:1), Chazon Ovadia (Arba Taniyot p. 26), [[Shevet Halevi]] 4:46, Tzitz Eliezer 10:25:16, and Rav Elyashiv (Kovetz Teshuvot 1:57) disagree and say this isn’t necessary for Tisha B’av. The Biur Halacha 554:6 quotes the Pitchei Olam who writes that when there is a small concern for Cholera people should only eat in increments so as not to abolish the fast. Shevet Halevi and Rav Elyashiv explain that this is only true for when the question was everyone eating because of a epidemic but in general someone who is sick may eat regularly. </ref> However, one should not overindulge.<ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 554:5, Hagahot Maimaniot Hilchot Taaniyot 1:8 </ref> | ||
