Question
A married woman in the year of mourning for her father, and the rule of rebuke does not apply to her since she goes with her head covered. When is she permitted to cut her hair?
Answer
A Sephardic woman is permitted to cut her hair immediately after the seven days of mourning, while an Ashkenazi woman should ideally not cut her hair throughout the entire year of mourning unless the abundance of hair interferes with the head covering, in which case she is permitted to cut it after a rebuke or after three months.
