In response to one of my Halocho-a-day posts <a href="http://kitzur.com/7zq2" target="_blank">kitzur.com/7zq2</a><br>

people keep on writing in informing me that if 10 B'Teves were to<br>
[theoretically] fall on Shabbos, we would fast.<br>
<br>
Over the years I've heard this from various people.<br>
<br>
Where does this Halocho come from? The SA in OC 550:3 says "if these 4<br>
fasts fall on Shabbos that are deferred to Sunday."<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

____</blockquote></div><br>I think this is another perfect mis-understanding. This is the ONE fast of the four that falls pn FRIDAY and we fast anyway.<br><br>Plus we DO fast fast kabbals Shabbos until tzeis even though this is no slam-dunk.<br>
<br>So these factors - IMHO - cauesd a a perfect mis-understanding leading people to BELIEVE that if it DID fall on Shabbos we would fast. But had they consuled <a href="http://SNOPES.COM">SNOPES.COM</a> as you did it is ibviously false - a pashut Kal vachomer from tisha b'av.<br clear="all">
