Question

My daughter is turning 12 on Shabbat, so we are moving the celebration to Thursday. Can she perform challah separation at the event?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

It is not appropriate to do so.

According to the Shulchan Aruch, it is only valid post facto, and according to the Gaon, Rabbi Eliyahu, it is not valid at all.

Source

Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh De'ah, Siman 331, Se'if 33, and the Gaon, Rabbi Eliyahu there.
