Hello and blessings, Is it permitted to cut a child's hair for a chalaka during Chol Hamoed? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello Rabbi
It is permitted to perform a chalaka during Chol Hamoed.
Source
Shaarei Teshuva, Siman 531
And see in Gan HaMelech where it is written: "It is permitted to delay the joy of the haircut done for a child to accustom the joy during Chol Hamoed, and it is also a mitzvah."
