Buying meat during the Nine Days

Hi,

One may purchase meat during the nine day period of mourning leading up to Tisha b'Av. Although we don't eat meat during that time, there would be many permitted reasons for having meat (such as Shabbat or a siyum), and therefore we need not worry that people would suspect the purchaser of eating meat inappropriately during this period.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:112:3)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
