Explaining the Meaning of Exiting the Period of Mourning

Question:
A caller reached out a short while ago, saying: Shaykh Salih, I am in the period of mourning, and I have one week left before I exit it. How does one exit the period of mourning? Do I change my clothes, or do I move to another place? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Exiting ihdad means the end of the waiting period, the waiting period for death. The end of the waiting period for death. When one hundred and thirty days are completed, it ends. The waiting period ends, and the ihdad ends. She is not required to leave the house, nor is she required to change her clothes. Rather, it means that the duration of the waiting period for death has ended. So she wears what she wishes, adorns herself, and goes out for her needs, and there is no harm in that. Yes.
