i was going to put this in the excited about Lag B’Omer thread in response to bpt but thought maybe this should be a thread for those that dont know the Halachah
One may cut their hair this year on the Erev Shabbos preceeding L B’O, because L B’O is on sunday.
There is a shita I believe that allows it, but you have to ask a posek. The shaila is on miksas yom c’kulo, is that by night or the beginning of the day to my knowledge…
Not sure all the details, but I do know its a worthwhile question for a posek for example if one cannot do it friday for a valid reaon.
by the title of this topic, i would not have guessed this was what it was about! i read it and i thought “who in their right mind would get a haircut on a date??????”
My brother told me that according to his Rebbi, one cannot shave on Thursday night. I’m trying to understand this though since Friday would be the same day…
