[Avodah] Tisha B'Av on Sunday

[Cantor Wolberg]

Why is it that we're allowed to fast on Shabbos for 9 Av, especially  
when Shabbos is docheh 9 Av?

The fact is that you are not fasting on Shabbos. You may be beginning  
the fast at the end of Shabbos
and where there is a safeik d'oraita regarding whether it is even  
Shabbos or not, but assuming it is Shabbos,
you've already had your three meals for Shabbos, so how can you say  
you are fasting on Shabbos? You're
fasting really on Sunday which begins Motzei Shabbos. It's not like a  
safeik for a bris, where Shabbos would
count as a whole day.  Just my 3 cents (inflation).
