According to the Rambam it’s forbidden to cut the Peot HaRosh with a razor and it’s permissible to cut it with a scissor close to the face, however, the Rosh forbids cutting the Peot HaRosh even with a scissor close to the face, and that is also the opinion of Shulchan Aruch Y”D 181:1 </ref> | ||
# It’s forbidden to cut any hair in the area of Peot HaRosh. <Ref>Even though the Rambam (Avoda Zara 12:6) writes that it’s only forbidden if one leaves less than 40 hairs, the Smag (quoted by Bet Yosef Y”D 181) holds that it’s forbidden to cut even 2 hairs. Therefore, S”A Y”D 181:9 rules that one may not cut any hairs of the Peot HaRosh. </ref> | # It’s forbidden to cut any hair in the area of Peot HaRosh. <Ref>Even though the Rambam (Avoda Zara 12:6) writes that it’s only forbidden if one leaves less than 40 hairs, the Smag (quoted by Bet Yosef Y”D 181) holds that it’s forbidden to cut even 2 hairs.
