Is it permissible for a woman during the mourning period to try on jewelry for the purpose of purchasing it after the mourning period?

Question:
We are still with your calls and faxes that you sent to the program. A sister, F.A.A., says: I hope you will kindly answer my questions from the Honorable Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him). A woman during the mourning period wants to wear jewelry to see if it suits her, so she can either keep it or return it if it does not. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:
This is not permissible for her as long as she is in the waiting period after her husband's death. It is not permissible for her to wear jewelry, neither for adornment nor for trying it on. Rather, she should wait until she exits the waiting period, or she should entrust a woman she trusts who has good judgment to look at this jewelry and see if it is suitable or not. Yes.
