אֵין מְגַלְּחִין פַּאֲתֵי הָרֹאשׁ כְּמוֹ שֶׁהָיוּ עוֹשִׂין עוֹבְדֵי כּוֹכָבִים שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא יט כז) "לֹא תַקִּפוּ פְּאַת רֹאשְׁכֶם". וְחַיָּב עַל כָּל פֵּאָה וּפֵאָה. לְפִיכָךְ הַמְגַלֵּחַ שְׁנֵי צְדָעָיו אֲפִלּוּ בְּבַת אַחַת וְהַתְרָאָה אַחַת לוֹקֶה שְׁתַּיִם. אֶחָד הַמְגַלֵּחַ הַפֵּאוֹת בִּלְבַד וּמֵנִיחַ שֵׂעָר כָּל הָרֹאשׁ וְאֶחָד הַמְגַלֵּחַ כָּל הָרֹאשׁ כְּאֶחָד לוֹקֶה הוֹאִיל וְגִלַּח הַפֵּאוֹת. בַּמֶּה דְּבָרִים אֲמוּרִים בְּאִישׁ הַמְגַלֵּחַ אֲבָל אִישׁ הַמִּתְגַּלֵּחַ אֵינוֹ לוֹקֶה אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן סִיֵּעַ לַמְגַלֵּחַ. וְהַמְגַלֵּחַ אֶת הַקָּטָן לוֹקֶה:
We may not shave the corners of our heads as the idolaters and their priests do, as [Leviticus 19:27] states: "Do not cut off the corners of your heads." One is liable for each corner. Therefore, a person who shaves both his temples - even if he were to do so simultaneously and had received only a single warning – is [liable for] two measures of lashes. [This prohibition applies equally to] one who shaves off only the corners of his head and leaves the remainder of his hair, and to one who shaves his entire head at once. Since he has shaved the corners, he is [liable for] lashes. To whom does the above apply? To the person who shaves. The person [whose head] is shaven is not lashed unless he assists the one who is shaving him. One who shaves [the corners of] a child's [head] should be [liable for] lashes.
