Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: What are the things from which the mourning woman is prohibited? And is she prohibited from using scented soap?

Answer:
And scented [soap], yes, she is prohibited from it if it has a scent that remains. As for if it is just plain soap for cleaning only and no scent remains from it, there is no prohibition. The mourning woman is prohibited from perfume, she is prohibited from adornment in her clothes and in her jewelry, and she is prohibited from leaving the house in which her husband died and in which she is, yes.
