Regarding the redemption of a firstborn son (pidyon haben) when the 30th day falls on Sukkot.

Date: 27 Elul 5571

From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Rabbi Yisrael

Description

The responsum addresses the case of a firstborn son whose 30th day falls on Sukkot, and since pidyon haben cannot be performed on Yom Tov, the question is whether it can be done on the eve of Yom Tov with a condition, or if it must be delayed until Chol HaMoed.
