BRIEF INSIGHT
SAFEK NEZIRUS
A Safek Nezirus is more stringent than a definite Nezirus because a Safek Nazir may never bring his Korbanos and shave his hair. The Ran asks that why can a Safek Nazir not bring his Korban Shelamim and Olah conditionally by stating that if he is not a Nazir the Korbanos shall be a Korban Nedavah? Even though he may not bring his Korban Chatas conditionally because a Korban Chatas may not be brought as a Nedavah, however the Halachah is that if a Nazir shaves after bringing only one of his Korbanos it is valid. The Ran answers that l'Chatchilah the Nazir may not shave without bringing all three Korbanos and if he shaves after one Korban it is only valid b'Di'eved. The Ri answers that a Nazir must shave his entire head which is forbidden for a non-Nazir according to one opinion because it includes shaving the sideburns which is forbidden. Therefore a Safek Nazir may not shave because it may be prohibited for him to shave his sideburns.
QUICK HALACHAH
LOST GRAIN
If someone vows he will be a Nazir if this pile of grain consists of 100 Kor and he went to measure it and he found that the grain is lost or stolen he is not a Nazir because we are lenient regarding Safek Nezirus. (Rambam Hilchos Nezirus 2:9)
