Question

Is it permissible to undergo a hair transplant? A. Generally, all hair is shaved, including the area of the sideburns. B. In the first days, is it an issue to wear tefillin only loosely?

Answer

Shalom Rav

A. It is forbidden to shave the sideburns.

B. It should not be worn loosely, but there is no medical issue to tighten it for a second and then remove it.

According to the instructions of our teacher, shlita, the transplant should be done close to the holiday, so there will be no need to wear it on Yom Tov and Chol HaMoed.
