דין תספורת בימי בין המצרים
מרוב תוקף האבלות בימי בין
המצרים, נהגו האשכנזים שלא להסתפר ולהתגלח, מיום שבעה עשר בתמוז ועד יום עשירי באב.
אולם הספרדים ובני עדות המזרח
לא נהגו להחמיר בזה, אלא מנהגינו כעיקר תקנת רבותינו התנאים, שגזרו אחר חורבן בית המקדש,
שבשבוע שחל בו תשעה באב אסור מלספר ולכבס, וכן פסקו הרמב”ם ומרן השולחן ערוך.
. ועד אז מותר לספרדים
להסתפר ולהתגלח.
ולענין תספורת לנשים בשבוע שחל
בו, או בכל ימי בין המצרים למנהג האשכזים, הדבר תלוי במחלוקת אחרת, וכפי שנבאר:
נחלקו הפוסקים, לענין אשה שאבלה
על אחד משבעת קרוביה (אב ואם, אח ואחות, בן ובת, ובעל), האם
היא אסורה להסתפר, כשם שלאנשים אסור להסתפר, או שאיסור זה אינו נוהג באשה.
ולהלכה, מרן השלחן
ערוך, אשר הספרדים וכל בני עדות המזרח הולכים לאורו, פסק שאין איסור תספורת נוהג
באשה. ועל כן תיכף אחר שבעת ימי האבל, מותר לאשה להסתפר. אבל
הרמ”א, שלפי הוראותיו הולכים האשכזים, פסק שאיסור תספורת נוהג גם בנשים.
ולפי זה נראה, שלדעת מרן השלחן
ערוך, ולמנהג הספרדים, אין איסור תספורת נוהג בנשים. אבל למנהג האשכנזים היוצאים
ביד רמ”א, אף הנשים בכלל איסור זה. וכן פסק הגאון רבי משה פיינשטיין
זצ”ל, ועוד מגדולי הפוסקים.
ומכל מקום יש מרבני האשכנזים
שכתבו, שאף על פי שבאבלות ממש, מנהגם הוא שגם הנשים אינן מסתפרות, מכל מקום
בבין המצרים רשאיות הנשים להקל בזה, כי אין תוקף מנהג האבלות חמור כל כך מצד הדין,
רק בתורת מנהג, כמו שביארנו. אבל בשבוע שחל בו תשעה באב, שאז איסור התספורת הוא
מתקנת חכמי המשנה ממש, ולא רק מחמת המנהג, אין לחלק בין אנשים לנשים.
ומכל מקום מנהג הספרדים להקל
בזה לגמרי כמו שכתבנו, אפילו בשבוע שחל בו תשעה באב.
The Laws of Taking Haircuts During the “Three Weeks”
As a result of the mourning
observed during the “Three Weeks,” the Ashkenazi custom is to abstain from
shaving and taking haircuts beginning from the Seventeenth of Tammuz until the
Tenth of Av.
Nevertheless, the Sephardic
custom is not as stringent and follows the letter of the law established by a
Tannaic enactment (following the destruction of the Bet Hamikdash) which is to
prohibit taking haircuts and laundering clothing during the week during which
Tisha Be’av falls out. The Rambam and Maran Ha’Shulchan Aruch rule likewise.
Regarding a woman taking a
haircut during the week during which Tisha Be’av falls out or during the “Three
Weeks” according to the Ashkenazi custom, this depends on a different
disagreement among the Poskim, as follows:
The Poskim disagree regarding
whether a woman who is in mourning for one of seven relatives (father, mother,
brother, sister, son, daughter, or husband) is forbidden to take a haircut just
as it is forbidden for a male mourner or does this prohibition not apply to
women.
Halachically speaking, Maran
Ha’Shulchan Aruch, whose rulings are followed by Sephardic and Middle Eastern
Jews, writes that the prohibition to take a haircut does not apply to women.
Thus, immediately following the initial seven days of mourning, a woman may
take a haircut. Nevertheless, the Rama, whose rulings are followed by Ashkenazi
Jews, writes that the prohibition to take a haircut applies to women as well.
It therefore seems that
according to Maran Ha’Shulchan Aruch and the Sephardic custom, the prohibition
to take haircuts observed in mourning of the destruction of the Bet Hamikdash
does not apply to women either. However, according to the Rama and the
Ashkenazi custom, women are also included in this prohibition. Hagaon Harav
Moshe Feinstein zt”l and other great Poskim rule likewise.
On the other hand, there are
Ashkenazi Poskim who write that although women are prohibited to take haircuts
while in actual mourning for a relative, nevertheless, woman may act leniently
and take haircut during the “Three Weeks,” for this is not as much a halachic
prohibition according to the letter of the law as it is a custom which has been
accepted. However, during the week during which Tisha Be’av falls out, when it
is an actual prohibition to take a haircut based on the edict of the Sages of
the Mishnah and not merely customary, there is no distinction between men and
women.
Nevertheless, as we have
stated above, the Sephardic custom is to permit women to take haircuts even
during the week during which Tisha Be’av falls out.
