Wearing black as mourning for a husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Sister Salimah asks, “Is it necessary, O Shaykh, for a wife to wear a black garment as mourning for her husband? Some women, such as the deceased’s sisters, wear black for a week?”
Answer:
Adhering to a specific garment for the sake of love, such as black or green or otherwise, is a matter of the ignorant. There is no specific garment for love, except that she should avoid garments of adornment, garments of fame, and anything that draws attention to her. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
