Halacha of the Week #10

On a fast day, such as the Fast of Tammuz this week, it is permissible to rinse the mouth. It is preferable to rinse in a shallow way, so that there is no possibility of swallowing water. One may also taste, without swallowing, a tiny amount of food that one is cooking to see if it needs more seasoning. On Tisha B'Av and Yom Kippur, however, one should not even rinse the mouth or taste anything. (OH 567)

This series gives brief practical tips about Halachic issues that arise in daily life.
