[Avodah] Tisha B'Av on Sunday

[Stuart Feldhamer]

I have a question about when 9 Av falls out on Sunday, as it did this year.

The halacha is that the fast starts at shkiah. Why is it that we're allowed
to fast on Shabbos for 9 Av, especially when Shabbos is docheh 9 Av? Since
Bein Hashmashot is a safeik, why don't we see safeik d'oraita l'chumrah in
the case of oneg Shabbos, and safeik d'rabbanan l'hakeil in the case of
Tisha B'av?

 

Thanks,

 

Stuart
