Rulings on the mourning period of a widow, saffron, and going out for leisure
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Also, Shaykh, is there anything prohibited for the wife of a deceased man? And also regarding saffron?
The Shaykh:
Do not drink saffron, because saffron is a type of perfume, so do not drink it with coffee or the like. Avoid adornment in clothing and adornment of the body, whether it is what a woman does to her body herself or what is done to it. Avoid this and stay in the house where her husband died until she completes the mourning period of four months and ten days. Yes.
The questioner:
Going out on trips and outings for a woman, O Shaykh, whose husband has passed away?
The Shaykh:
She does not go out on outings; she only goes out for a need that she must have, and she goes out neither during the day nor at night. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
