Question
I usually refrain from cutting nails and hair on Rosh Chodesh, according to the will of Rabbi Yehuda HaChasid. On the other hand, there is a halacha that one should not cut nails and hair on Thursday, and this month Rosh Chodesh falls on Friday. When should I cut my hair and nails in honor of Shabbat?
Answer
Even though it is generally not customary to cut nails and hair on Thursday, when Rosh Chodesh falls on Friday, those who follow the will of Rabbi Yehuda HaChasid should cut their nails and hair in honor of Shabbat on Thursday before sunset.
