Question
A patient who was unconscious and upon awakening was informed that his father passed away two months ago, what is his status regarding getting a haircut?
Answer
He may be lenient and get a haircut after being rebuked, even within thirty days from when he was informed of the death. Some are stringent and wait thirty days before the rebuke (however, certainly he does not need to be stringent with the custom not to rely on rebuke for three months).
