	~~==When does the fast start?==~~		#REDIRECT [[Fast Days]]
	# If one went to sleep at night and wakes up before Olot HaShachar one may not eat. However, if one stipulated before going to sleep that one didn’t begin the fast and one would eat before Olot HaShachar, one may eat before Olot, yet the Zohar is strict under any circumstance. <Ref> S”A 564:1, Yalkut Yosef (Kitzur S”A 550:3), Sh”t Yabea Omer 5:22(5), Piskei Teshuvot 564:1 </ref>
	~~==When to end a fast==~~
	~~# Any fast which one didn’t complete until Tzet HaCochavim is considered as though one didn't fast. <Ref> S”A 562:1 </ref>~~
	~~==Washing oneself and swimming==~~
	# A Baal Nefesh should be strict not to wash oneself in hot water or anoint oneself, however it’s permitted to wash with cold water or wash one’s hands, feet, and face with hot water. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 550:6 and Shaar HaTzion 550:8</ref>
	~~## If Asara BeTevet falls out on Friday, one shouldn’t be strict and rather should wash oneself because of Kavod Shabbat. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 550:6 </ref>~~
	~~# One shouldn’t go swimming in a pool or ocean on a fast day. <Ref> Piskei Teshuvot 550:6 and Sh”t Bear Moshe 3:77 </ref>~~
	~~==Washing one’s mouth and brushing one’s teeth==~~
	# It’s improper to wash out one’s mouth on a communal fast day. <Ref>S”A 567:3 </ref> # Similarly, it’s improper to brush one’s teeth on a communal fast day unless one is in pain (and if one does so, one should make sure not to have more than a reviyit in one’s mouth at one time and to be careful not to swallow any water). <Ref> Yalkut Yosef (Moadim pg 534), Sh”t Minchat Yitzchak 4:109, quoted in Piskei Teshuvot 567:1 </ref>
	# One may swallow salvia that accumulates in one’s mouth. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 567:13 </ref> Some say that if it’s easy one should be strict and spit it out. <Ref> Chaye Adam 132:22, Mateh Efraim 612:7, Moadim UZmanim 1:59 </ref> While others say that the minhag is to be lenient altogether. <Ref> Piskei Teshuvot 567:2, Bet Meir, Ashel Avraham, Aruch HaShulchan 567:4 </ref>
	~~==If one made a Bracha by accident==~~
	# If one made a Bracha by accident and then realized that it was a fast day, one should eat a very small amount just enough that one can taste it and continue on fasting. <Ref>Sh”t Yabea Omer Y”D 2:5(6), O”C 10:41, Yalkut Yosef (Kitzur S”A 550:26) however, Kaf HaChaim 568:16, Daat Torah (of the Maharsham), Sh”t Mishneh Halacha 7:80, Sh”t Shevet Sofer O”C 25, and Piskei Teshuvot 568:2 rule that one shouldn’t eat it but rather say Baruch Shem. Teshuvot VeHanhagot 1:329 writes that one should taste it, not swallow, and then spit it out. </ref>
	~~==Smoking==~~
	# It’s permissible to smoke on a fast day except on Tisha BeAv (disregarding whether it’s permissible to smoke because of the health issue). <Ref> Sh”t Yechava Daat 5:39, Sh”t Yabea Omer 1:33 </ref>
	~~==Tasting food before Shabbat==~~
	~~# It’s a mitzvah to taste the Shabbat food before Shabbat to know if tastes right. However, on Friday of Shabbat Chazon, one shouldn’t taste the food. <Ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 42:61 </ref>~~
	~~# If Asara BeTevet falls out to be on Friday one may taste the food if one spits it out and doesn’t swallow. <Ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 42:61 </ref>~~
	~~==Making a Shehecheyanu==~~
	~~# It’s permitted to make a Shehecheyanu on a fast day. <Ref> Piskei Teshuvot 550:8 in name of Pri Megadim A”A 551:42 and Kaf HaChaim 550:209 </ref>~~
	~~==Taking a haircut==~~
	# There’s a dispute whether one may take a haircut on a fast day and it’s preferable not to. <Ref> Rav Chaim Palagi in Ruach Chaim 566:4 is strict, and so rules Or Letzion, Piskei Teshuvot 550:8. However, Yalkut Yosef and Tzitz Eliezer are lenient. </ref>
	~~==Getting a hundred Brachot==~~
	~~# Some Sephardim had the minhag to wear tefillin on fast days at Mincha so as to complete 100 Brachot, however the widespread minhag isn’t so. <Ref> Sh”t Yechava Daat 2:67 </ref>~~
	~~==Giving Tzedaka==~~
	~~# It’s customary to give Tzedaka at mincha on a fast day, the value of the amount of food one would have eaten that day. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 566:12 </ref>~~
