Shaving before the end of the year of mourning

Question

Can I shave before Shabbos, when my father’s yahrzeit is on Sunday?It’s the first year since his passing.

Answer

Shalom uVracha,

It’s not permitted.

Until the yahrzeit day itself, you’re still within the year of mourning for your father.
