Relations During the Nine Days
Question
Hello Rabbi, and thank you for your effort.
I have tried to find various sources regarding the prohibition of marital relations during the Nine Days and found nothing. I know that on Tisha B'Av itself it is prohibited, but what about the preceding Nine Days? Also, is there a difference if it is done for the sake of the mitzvah of peru u'revu (be fruitful and multiply) or just for pleasure?
Answer
Greetings and blessings,
Marital relations between a man and his wife are permitted during the Nine Days in any case.
Best regards, - Benjamin Shmueli
