Q. One that has the first Yohrzait for his mother on Tu Beav and his tradition is to fats on the day of Yohrzait as he did for his father. Does he fast on Tu Beav?

A. On a similar question 3837 we wrote: “Mishna Berura (573: 7) quotes Magen Avrohom who rules that usually in a day when no Tachanun is recited, one does not fast either, and it includes Tu B’av. There is a minhag by some to make a Seuda during Tu B’av (Karlin Beis Aharon and others. See Nitei Gavriel 98: 7).
