Question
A mourner who last had a haircut two months before his father's passing, and within the thirty days his friends rebuked him. Is the rebuke effective within the thirty days?
Answer
A rebuke is not effective until after thirty days.
Source
This is stated by the Beit Yosef in Siman 340, that a rebuke is not effective within thirty days. Rabbi Akiva Eiger also wrote there in paragraph 4: "And if they rebuked him within 30 days, it is obvious that it does not help, as it is not worse than other mourning cases."
