Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner has specifically dedicated this program to a set of questions about her deceased husband. She says: As for a woman whose husband has died, is she permitted to dye her hair with henna?

Answer:
She is not permitted to dye her hair, nor is she permitted to use perfume, nor is she permitted to wear clothes of adornment, nor is she permitted to wear jewelry, nor may she apply kohl, and she is not permitted to leave the house except for a need, and only during the day, until the waiting period for widowhood is completed, which is one hundred and twenty days, four months and ten days. Yes.
