Question:
Hello Rabbi,
Is it permitted to buy a food item during the nine days that will not be opened until after Tisha B’Av? For example, may we buy a carton of milk to open after Tuesday or even a big box of cookies or juice boxes that will not be opened for a week or two? Price is the same so it is not like we have to get them during the nine days
Thank you
Answer:
Hello,
It is permitted.
Have a good Shabbos
