Question
Are women also prohibited from haircuts during the Counting of the Omer, and what is the ruling regarding shaving for women not on the head?
Answer
Shalom Rav
There is no difference between men and women regarding the prohibition of haircuts.
However, shaving other parts of the body is not considered a haircut and is permitted.
