Question

I apologize for asking again. Honorable Rabbi, I asked if, when Lag BaOmer does not fall, a woman who needs to cut her hair for the sake of a mitzvah due to an obstruction in counting, on Sunday in the count, not on Lag BaOmer, is allowed to cut her hair on Friday in honor of Shabbat? And also, if a Bar Mitzvah falls on Sunday, on Sunday in the count, not on Lag BaOmer, is the Bar Mitzvah boy allowed to shave in honor of the Bar Mitzvah on Friday in honor of Shabbat?

Answer

Hello,

If a woman needs to cut her hair for the sake of a mitzvah, it makes no difference whether she cuts it on Sunday or Friday.

I have not seen permissions to cut hair for a Bar Mitzvah.

[What do the words 'Sunday in the count' mean? After all, the first day of the count falls on Chol HaMoed, and it is forbidden to cut hair on Chol HaMoed for any purpose????]
