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.
