Question
Someone who is accustomed to going to the mikveh every day for additional purity, is he allowed to go to the mikveh during the thirty days of mourning?
Answer
Someone who is accustomed to going every day can continue to go every day during the thirty days (but not during the seven days) to the mikveh with cold water, and may even perform a light washing beforehand because of the people coming after him. This applies even to those who are stringent about immersing their whole body in cold water during the thirty days.
Someone who is accustomed to going every Friday can continue to go every Friday during the thirty days.
