Question:
In a situation where one became an avel before Pesach, and shloshim ended during sefirah, would the avel be allowed to shave/get a haircut since he did not have an opportunity to do so before Pesach? Thank you.
Answer:
If the aveilus is for a parent, the child has to wait about three months, or when people will rebuke him for not taking a haircut, even though shloshim has passed. However if the aveilus is not for a parent, then it is permitted to take a haircut during sefira.
