The ruling on a woman whose husband has died wearing a white garment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From Sudan, a listener whose name is Ayn Alif Mīm Alif, sent a message containing two questions. In his first question he says: What is the ruling on a woman whose husband has died wearing a white garment? Is it a custom or an act of worship?
Answer:
A woman whose husband has died wears what is customary for her to wear, and this constitutes adornment, because she is exempt from wearing adornment during the waiting period. Ihdad is one of the rulings, for she is exempt from wearing adornment, so she wears what is customary for the women of her country.
