What should someone do if they have a vow to fast on Monday or Thursday and the eve of Tisha B'av falls on that day?
Synopsis
One should either ask to nullify the vow or borrow the fast by fasting until after Mincha and eating the parting meal before sunset. The Gaonim rule that one may continue with the regular fast structure. Those who have vowed a 'dream fast' follow the same rules.
