Q. (See questions 2787-88 above). Can the Hakamat Hamatzeiva be done on Tisha Beav and the same day as the levayah? Are hespedim permitted?
A. Nitei Gavriel (Bein Hametzarim 2: 81: 7) permits Hakamat Matzeiva on Tisha Beav. Mekadesh Yisroel (309) and Nishmas Yisroel (35) and others also allow, but debate if hespedim or eulogies are permitted since it is a day when tachanun is omitted, as it is also considered a moed. (see question above that many permit when mention of the avelus of the day, so not to forget the important significance of the occasion).
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is similar.
