What is required of a woman during the mourning period for her husband

Question:
The woman in mourning, Honorable Shaykh, whose husband has passed away, what is required of her?

Answer:
The woman in mourning, not the one who is in the state of ihram. The woman in mourning is required to do several things. First, she must stay in the house, as we mentioned. Second, she must avoid perfume and adornment, whether in clothing, jewelry, or the dyes on her hands or body; she must avoid all forms of adornment. She remains in the house until she completes her waiting period, yes.
