Question
In mourning during the thirty days for his brother who passed away, his friend rebuked him for having long hair. Is it permissible to get a haircut due to the rebuke within the thirty days of mourning for other relatives?
Answer
A rebuke does not help within thirty days, only after thirty days for one's father and mother.
Source
As explained by Rabbi Akiva Eiger, who wrote regarding mourning for one's father and mother: "If he was rebuked within 30 days, it is obvious that it does not help, as it is no worse than for other mourners."
