3. Restrictions against leather shoes; bathing and anointing:[1]
When Tisha B’av falls on Shabbos, the regular Tisha B’av restrictions against leather shoes, bathing and anointing do not apply until after Shabbos, as will be explained. [However, some Poskim[2] rule one is forbidden in all private mourning matters, such as bathing one’s hands, legs and face in hot water. Even in their opinion, wearing leather shoes is permitted, as this is a public mourning matter.]
_______________________________________________[1] Michaber 554:19; Rama ibid only differs on Michaber regarding marital relations
[2] Taz 554:9; M”B 554:39 that so is the ruling accoridng to the Yeish Osrin in Rama, as they prohibit all private mourning matters and not just marital relations; See Kaf Hachaim 554:86; Rav Yaakov Yosef stated in the name of the Pachad Yitzchak and Eretz Chaim that the Sefaradi custom is to be stringent like the Rama against the Michaber and not b athe even in cold water.
