Delaying a court case with a gentile:[1]
One who has a court case against a gentile during this time is to find ways to delay it, as during this time a Jews Mazal is weak.
|
Until when is one to avoid a court case with a gentile? Some Poskim[2] say this ruling extends until Rosh Chodesh Elul. Others[3] rule it extends until after the 10th of Av. Others[4] rule it extends until the 15th of Av.
