According to Sephardic custom, may they eat meat during the nine days?[1]
The Sefaradic custom is to begin to avoid eating meat from the second day of Menachem Av. This is unlike the common misconception that Sefaradim avoid meat only on the week of Tisha B’av. On Rosh Chodesh Menachem Av, they still eat meat.
