Question

A mourner within thirty days when the festival interrupts the thirty days, is it permitted to shave on the eve of the festival?

Answer

For all relatives, the festival cancels the thirty days, and one may cut hair and nails after the time of Mincha Ketana. For parents, one may cut nails but is forbidden to cut hair until he is reprimanded.
