Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 163

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

When milah itself has proven dangerous, the Kitzur holds off the bris until the child grows older and stronger. Bein hashmashos is a gray area Hashem created, and serving Him in that gray area is real avodah. From there the Kitzur turns to the seudas milah, the shalom zachar and the order of pidyon haben.

Key points

• When two of a woman's sons died from milah, the Kitzur delays her third son's bris until he grows stronger.
• If two sisters each lost a son to milah, the Kitzur has the other sisters' sons wait until they grow stronger.
• The Kitzur calls a meal of only coffee and sweets, by one who can afford more, inappropriate.
• The Kitzur calls the shalom zachar, with its fruits and drinks, a sudas mitzvah too.
