Question
This year, Purim falls on a Friday. For those who do not want to practice 'Purim Maphah' and find it difficult to digest two meat meals, is it possible to have a dairy Purim feast?
Answer
Hello,
There is no permission to have a dairy meal.
In such a case, it is advisable to hold the Purim feast very early, so that there is an opportunity to eat both meals properly.

Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 695, Se'if 2
When Purim falls on a Friday, the meal should be held in the morning, in honor of Shabbat.
Mishna Berura, Siman 529, Se'if Katan 20
Even if one abstains from meat and wine all year for repentance, on Shabbat, holidays, Chanukah, and Purim, one must eat and drink.
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Fried, shlita
