==On what days is it said?==
==On what days is it not said?==
# On the following nights no Tikkun Chatzot is said: 1)Shabbat <ref> Shaarei Tzion (beginning of sefer) writes that one does say Tikkun Leah on Shabbat, nonetheless, most achronim rule otherwise including the Ben Ish Chai (Vayishlach 7), Kaf HaChaim 1:13, and Halacha Brurah 1:8. </ref> 2)Rosh HaShana 3)Yom Kippur 4)Pesach (Yom Tov and Chol HaMoed) 5)Shavuot 6)Sukkot (just Yom Tov) 7)Shemini Aseret. <ref> Ben Ish Chai (Vayishlach 7), Kaf HaChaim 1:13, and Halacha Brurah 1:8 quote this list of days that there's no Tikkun Chatzot. Of course one doesn't say Tikkun Chatzot on Yom Tov Sheni Shel Galiyot just like the first day Yom Tov. However, Chesed LaAlafim 1:2, and Kaf HaChaim Palagi 3:34 write that one does say Tikkun Leah on Yom Tov. </ref>
# On the following nights no Tikkun Rachel is said, but Tikkun Leah is still said: 1)Days when there's no Tachanun 2)Chol HaMoad Sukkot 2)Asert Yemei Teshuva 3)Year of Shemittah in Israel 4)Day after the Molad before Rosh Chodesh <ref> Ben Ish Chai Vayishlach 5, Kaf HaChaim 1:11, Halacha Brurah 1:9 write that the night of the day of the molad has only Tikkun Leah even if it's not the day of Rosh Chodesh itself. For example, Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5770 falls out on Friday May 14th 2010 and the molad falls out on Thursday May 13th 2010. If the Molad and Rosh Chodesh coincide then there's no Tikkun Rachel because there's no Tachanun on Rosh Chodesh. </ref> 5)Days of Sefirat HaOmer. <ref> Ben Ish Chai Vayishlach 5, Kaf HaChaim 1:11, and Halacha Brurah 1:9 </ref>
# In the following cases no Tikkun Rachel is said: 1)At a mourner's house 2)The house of a groom and 3)The father, Tzandak (holder of the baby), Mohel of a Brit Milah. <ref> Kaf HaChaim Palagi 3:35, Ben Ish Chai Vayishlach 5, Kaf HaChaim 1:11 </ref>
