Question
Is it permissible to shave a mustache that hinders eating while sitting shiva for one's father and during the thirty days?
Answer
It is permissible to shave a mustache that hinders eating during the thirty days, but not during the seven days (though the Gaon, Rabbi Eliyahu permits even during the seven days), whether mourning for one's father and mother or for other relatives.
