Question
Is it permitted to cut our three-year-old son's hair during the Three Weeks? Thank you very much!!
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is permitted to cut his hair during the days of Bein HaMetzarim, until Rosh Chodesh Av. Since it is a necessity for a child, and it also serves as an education in the mitzvah.
However, some have the custom to wait until after Tisha B'Av.

Mishnah Berurah, Siman 551, S"K 82. It is permitted to cut a child's hair if necessary.
