Question
Is it permissible to have a haircut this year on Friday, Rosh Chodesh Iyar? I would appreciate sources. Thank you.
Answer
Shalom Rav,
One who does not follow the testament of Rabbi Yehuda HaChasid not to have a haircut on Rosh Chodesh may have a haircut this year on Friday.
Even those who usually prohibit haircuts on other Rosh Chodesh days may be lenient in this case.
Those who follow the opinion of the Ari Zal are prohibited from having haircuts on Rosh Chodesh during the days of the Omer count.
