Question
Is a woman allowed to shave during the weeks?
Answer
Shalom Uverachah,
I assume that the question was about shaving legs during the Three Weeks. If it is preparation for tevillah and she usually does so there is no problem as this is not a compromise in her mourning for the destruction of the Beit Hamkidash.
