Question:
Can I give sewing lessons to children during nine days? Thank you so much!
Answer:
Hello,
It depends on what will be done with the item that they are sewing. If it will be useable garment. That can be worn, then it should not be done during the nine days, however if it is not something that will eventually be worn, then it is merely a learning experience and permitted
