Question

Someone told me that there is permission to go on trips during the Three Weeks; is that true or is it forbidden? Thank you very much

Answer

Greetings,
 
According to the principal halacha, it is permitted to travel during the Three Weeks; however, this is not an appropriate time for such activities, especially from the beginning of the month of Av.

Sources: See Shdei Chemed (section on Bein HaMetzarim, siman 1, ot 10) citing Rav Chaim Pallagi, zt"l in his book, Masha Chaim (page 2). Also see the book Nechamat Yisrael (chapter 8, section 3).
 
Blessings,
 
Hillel Meirs
