The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Shaykh, do you think that restricting mourning to three days is derived from this noble hadith in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) specified a woman's mourning for a relative?
The Shaykh:
This is not unlikely, but the reasoning I have seen is that they say that after three days, the calamity is forgotten.
The presenter:
Mm.
The Shaykh:
So he does not renew the mention of it, and it is not unlikely that it is also inspired by this hadith, yes.
