2,930. When a Father Imposes Nezirus on His Son

Hilchos Nezirus 9:11

Let’s say that a woman took a nazirite vow and was rendered unclean by corpse impurity during her nezirus. Her husband subsequently learns of her vow and annuls it. In such a case, she must still bring the offerings for being rendered unclean.

Hilchos Nezirus 9:12

Let’s say that a father imposes a nazirite vow on his son and put animals for offerings aside, but the son rejects the vow or his family objected, or he or a family member shaved him (thereby rejecting the vow). In such a case, the sin offering is left to die, the burnt offering is brought as a burnt offering, and the peace offering is brought as a peace offering that may be eaten for one day and need not be brought with bread. If the father put money aside but didn’t earmark it for particular offerings, it’s used to buy freewill offerings. If the money was earmarked, then the money for the burnt offering is used for a burnt offering, the money for the sin offering is brought to the Dead Sea (i.e., destroyed), and the money for the peace offering is used for a peace offering that may be eaten for one day and does not require bread.
