Question
A mourner whose thirty days of mourning for his brother are canceled by Sukkot, and there are no barbers willing to cut his hair before Mincha, can he be lenient and get a haircut earlier?
Answer
For those who follow the opinion of the Shulchan Aruch, they can be lenient and get a haircut from the morning. For those who follow the opinion of the Rema, in pressing circumstances, they can be lenient and get a haircut from midday.
