Given that it is doubtful whether a postponed circumcision may take place on the second festival day, the question arises whether the case would be clear if the father, who could circumcise himself, was required by a command of the city leader to travel for about six months the following day. Similarly, how does the situation stand concerning the redemption of a firstborn, whose father would have to travel the day after the festival, if the 30th day falls on the second festival day? Samuel Mendez de Sola rules that the circumcision may take place on the second festival day, but the redemption may not. Since it is uncertain whether the redemption can be performed by a representative, one must wait until the father returns..
