#If Erev Pesach falls out on Shabbat the prohibition to work on Erev Pesach does not apply to Friday.<ref>Beiur Halacha s.v. mechatzot u'limala explains that according to Tosafot's reason if [[Pesach]] falls out on erev [[shabbat]], melacha is not prohibited until [[mincha]]. But he adds that for Rashi the prohibition would still apply even when [[Pesach]] falls out on erev [[shabbat]] it would still be forbidden after mid-day, but concludes that most poskim hold like tosafot so one doesn't need to be stringent. Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim 468:3:1 is lenient on work on Friday when Erev Pesach falls out on Shabbat. Nitai Gavriel 2:45:18 agrees. </ref> | #If Erev Pesach falls out on Shabbat the prohibition to work on Erev Pesach does not apply to Friday.<ref>Beiur Halacha s.v. mechatzot u'limala explains that according to Tosafot's reason if [[Pesach]] falls out on erev [[shabbat]], melacha is not prohibited until [[mincha]].

# It is permitted to ask a non-Jew to do work for you after midday.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 468:1 quotes two opinions as to whether this is permitted. The Rama writes that the minhag is to be lenient. Rav Wosner (Kovetz Mbet Levi v. 1 p. 42), Hilchot Chag B'chag (Pesach p. 253), and Yalkut Yosef 468:1 are lenient.</ref> | # It is permitted to ask a non-Jew to do work for you after midday.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 468:1 quotes two opinions as to whether this is permitted.

# Some permit doing business, just buying and selling (not melacha), after chatzot until two and a half halachic hours before sunset.<ref>Nitai Gavriel 2:45:5, Otzar Halachot (v. 7 p. 408 n. 4). Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata 42:40 permits business after midday but writes that the minhag is to close the stores an hour before sunset. In the footnote (ch. 42 fnt. 137) he cites Bet Dovid, who writes that the minhag is to close the stores from 2.5 hours before sunset, but doesn't comment.</ref> However, others write that the minhag is to be strict and forbid this.<ref>Hilchot Chag B'chag (Pesach p. 260) | # Anything permissible on Chol Hamoed, such as work to prevent a loss, or unskilled labor and there is a need for the holiday, is permitted on erev Pesach.<ref>Magen Avraham 468:3, Mishna Brurah 468:7, Rav Wosner (Kovetz Mbet Levi v. 1 p. 42). Rambam (Hilchot [[Yom Tov]] 8:18) writes that on erev [[pesach]] after [[chatzot]] it is asur to do melacha midirabanan like [[chol hamoed]] and it is more lenient than [[chol hamoed]].</ref> | ||

#It is also forbidden to get a haircut or a shave unless by a non-Jew,<ref> Mishna Brurah 468:5. There is a discussion in the poskim as to whether it is prohibited for a Jew to give himself a haircut. The implication of the Rama in Yoreh Deah 399:3 is that it is permitted for one to give himself a haircut. However, later poskim dispute the issue. For example, see Shulchan Aruch HaRav 468:4 who rules that this is prohibited.
