Question:
And other than that, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some women, when they complete the mourning period for their husband, take a ritual bath. Is this correct?
Answer:
There is no basis for this. Among the common people, they have various beliefs regarding a woman leaving the waiting period after her husband’s death: that she does not go out at night, that she goes out with something, that a sacrificial animal is slaughtered for her, and so on. They have such things[Yusuf 12:40]. Yes.
