# The Ashkenazic minhag is not to perform a [[Pidyon HaBen]] at night, however, the Sephardic minhag is specifically to perform it at night. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 164:3 writes that the Ashkenazic minhag is not to perform it at night, unless the 31st day fell out on Shabbat or [[Yom Tov]] in which case the [[Pidyon HaBen]] is performed the night after the 31st and not pushed off until the morning. See Shu"t Noda BeYehuda (Tinyana, Yoreh Deah 187) and Otzar Pidyon HaBen 17:2. [http://www.yutorah.org/lectures/lecture.cfm/768798/Rabbi_Hershel_Schachter/Parsha_Shiur_-_Bo_5772 Rav Hershel Schachter] in Shuir on Parshat Bo (towards end of shiur) agrees about the Ashkenazic minhag.

# A [[Pidyon HaBen]] shouldn't be performed on Shabbat or [[Yom Tov]].<ref>Shulchan Aruch YD 305:11. The Trumat Hadeshen (no. 269) explains that a pidyon haben shouldn't take place on Shabbat because it appears like a business transaction. Even if one were to give the money before Shabbat on condition that it would be effective on Shabbat, it is still an issue because there would be doubt as to when to recite the bracha and perform the meal in honor of the pidyon haben.</ref> However, it may be performed on Chol HaMoed. <ref>Rama YD 305:11, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 164:3</ref>

# Some say that if the 31st day falls out on a fast day it is pushed off until the nighttime, whereas others say that it is performed in the daytime and only the meal is delayed until the nighttime. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 164:3 writes that if the 31st falls out on a fast day it is pushed off until the nighttime. Rav Mordechai Eliyahu (comments on Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 164:3) writes that from the Shach, Magen Avraham, and Dagul Mirvava it seems that only the meal is delayed until the nighttime. </ref>
