Does a ‘chatan’ or a ‘brit’ in the afternoon absolve the tzibur not to say tachanun at shacharit

Question:

“Hello, Your Honor. Do we say tachanun prayer in ‘shacharit’ when there is a “chatan” in the synagogue that is getting married that day? And also, what is the case if a mohel or the father of the son when the brit will take place at the afternoon? Welcome, David C. The Gabbai Of the Synagogue in Jerusalem.

Answer:

To the Discrepancy of the Sephardim and members of the Mizrahi community, in the morning prayer the public must say ‘tachnun’ as usual despite the participation of the guy who is about to get married that day, and only in a ‘minchah’ prayer (which is the prayer next to the wedding) you do not say ‘tachanun’. And it’s even that the ‘chupah’ will take place before sunset, let alone if it exists after sunset.

And even in the matter of the brit (sandok, Mohel, and father of the Son), if the brit exists only in the afternoon (as many do today, but it is necessary to know that it is right to make the brit in the morning hours), in the morning prayer the public say ‘tachanun’ (and only the sandok, Mohel, and father of the Son themselves do not say), unless the brit will take place in the same synagogue they will not say ‘tachanun’. [And that’s the opinion of Maren Rabbi Ovadia Yosef Zt”z And even though his minyon wouldn’t have said tachnun at shachrit when Maren was a sandok in the afternoon, that is, because most of the biritot, have taken place in the same synagogue.].

And one should not be taken over all of the above, and if you see an objection that wants to skip the tachnun, especially if there is a regular ‘minhag’ in this matter in the same synagogue, leave them alone.
