Question
A prisoner whose wife is allowed to visit him in prison during the counting of the Omer and to be secluded with him after a year and a half of not meeting, and who did not shave before Passover. Is he allowed to shave, just as one who was in prison is allowed to get a haircut during Chol Hamoed? And what is the ruling if he shaved before Passover?
Answer
Today, there is no law regarding imprisonment in this context, and there is no permission to get a haircut or shave.
