However, if one needs to perform a [[Pidyon Haben|Pidyon HaBen]] <ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 551:17, based on Maharil 31 and Sefer Chasidim 840, writes that one should refrain from saying [[shehechiyanu]] during the Three Weeks. The Magen Avraham 551:42 notes that the reason for this halacha is not because this is a time of mourning, as it's permitted for a mourner to recite [[shehechiyanu]] (as per Berachot 59b). Instead, he explains that the reason not to make [[shehechiyanu]] is since this is a period in which Klal Yisrael was punished, it's improper to recite a beracha thanking Hashem for allowing us to survive until this time. However, the Gra s.v. tov, rejects Magen Avraham's explanation, and believes that not reciting [[shehechiyanu]] during the Three Weeks is an extra chumra, as it should be no different from a mourner who may say [[shehechiyanu]]. The Taz 551:17 agrees to be lenient based on the concern that perhaps if you don’t make the Bracha now you may not be able after the Three Weeks. Mishna Brurah 551:98 concludes that one shouldn’t be lenient except on [[Shabbat]]. Yalkut Yosef 551:12 rules like Shulchan Aruch that one should refrain from making [[shehechiyanu]] during the Three Weeks. </ref> | ||
