Shenei Luchot HaBerit, Shaar HaOtiyot, Hilchot Biah 2:17
When a wife's husband is in town, her immersion is a Torah obligation, and therefore the author permitted a woman to immerse on the night of Shabbat that fell on Tisha b'Av, since most poskim rule leniently; although the Rema ruled stringently in the Hagah, in the case of a mitzvah the stringency does not apply.
מטעם הנ"ל כשבעלה בעיר הוא טבילת מצוה, התרתי לאשה לטבול בליל שבת שחל תשעה באב בו, מאחר שרוב הפוסקים פסקו להתיר. אף שרמ"א בהג"ה (או"ח תקנד, יט וע"ע יו"ד קצז, ב) כתב לחומרא, מכל מקום מצוה שאני.
