Q. May a Chassan who is getting married the night of Lag B’Omer shave earlier in the day, on the 32nd of the Omer, before shekiah? What is the halacha concerning relatives and other guests attending the wedding?


A. The prevalent custom is that one may get married on the night of Lag B’Omer. The halacha in general regarding shaving is to wait until after sunrise on the morning of Lag B’Omer. Rav Belsky zt”l ruled that the chassan and the fathers of the chassan and kallah may shave on the 32nd day of the Omer before shekiah. Other family members and guests should not shave before shekiah. Rav Belsky zt”l did permit them to bring a shaver to the wedding and shave there after shekiah. (See ???? ????, Volume One, pages 109 – 110)
