Question
My brother is getting married on Monday, Rosh Chodesh Shevat, and we strictly observe the will of Rabbi Yehuda HaChasid not to shave or get a haircut on Rosh Chodesh. We wanted to ask if it is permissible for the groom to get a haircut and shave on the wedding day, and what is the ruling for his father and brothers?
Answer
Shalom Rav and Mazal Tov
It is forbidden to get a haircut on Rosh Chodesh, and everyone should get a haircut the day before or after sunset.
