Question
Is it permissible to trim a mustache or beard within the 30 days of mourning for a sister? Long mustaches that get into the mouth are very bothersome, I just want to trim, not shave completely.
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is permissible to trim the mustache during the thirty days of mourning if it interferes with eating.
Source
Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh De'ah, Siman 390, Se'if 1
The mustache and side hairs, if they interfere with eating, are prohibited within seven days. After seven days, they are permitted.
