On which day is a Pidyon Haben to take place?
Answer:
A Pidyon Haben is a take place on the 31st day from birth. Thus, if the baby was born on a Sunday prior to sunset than the Pidyon Haben is to take place four weeks and two weekdays later, on a Tuesday. It may not take place beforehand and may not initially be delayed past the 31st day. If the 31st day falls on Shabbos or Yom Tov then it is to take place the next day.
