Mentioning some incorrect customs regarding a woman’s mourning for her deceased husband.

The Shaykh : We give an example from the customs of women: when a woman’s husband dies and she is in her waiting period, they consider her to be in a state of mourning. They think she must not wear anything but a specific garment. They also think she must not go out to the courtyard. They think she must not go up to the roof. They think she must not expose herself to the moon, and they claim that the moon is a man. There are many such things. They also think that a woman in mourning must not speak to anyone, and must not speak to anyone who asks permission at the door. All of this has no basis. If you are referring to this, then it has no basis. If you are referring to other things, mention them so that we may address them.
