*30.3 Makkos Daf 20A (The Mishnah)*

*30.3 Makkos Daf 20A (The Mishnah)*The following _mishna_ deals with four laws:1. Pulling out one’s hair in mourning a death2. To cut a wound in mourning a death3. Cutting off the peios (The Rambam says this is only a problem with a razor, but other poskim say that it is forbidden even with a close scissors cut)4. Shaving the beard (This everyone holds is only a problem with a razor)*Summary**Mishna:*[These are liable for _malkos]_*One who tears out hair* from his head in mourning.*Or he surrounds his head with baldness* (he cuts off his _peios)._*Or he shaves off the edges of his beard.**Or he makes a wound in himself, in his mourning.*If he made one gash for five dead people, or five gashes for one death, he gets *five sets of _malkos._**For ‘surrounding the head’ there are two _malkos,_* one for each _peiah [from the top of the ear until the hole in the ear]._*For shaving the edges of the beard there are five _malkos_* for five edges, two on one side _[one from the hole in the ear until where the cheek juts out, and one on the side of the chin],_ two on the other side and one on the bottom _[the tip of the chin]._*Rabbi Eliezer: If he removed the entire beard at once* there is only one _malkos._One is only liable for shaving the beard with a razor.*Rabbi Eliezer:* He is liable even if he picked it, or planed it off.
