The Ruling on a Mourning Woman Going Out to the Market

Question :

Is it permissible for the mourning woman to go out to the market in order to fulfill her needs?

Answer:

It is permissible for the mourning woman to go out to the market in order to fulfill her needs and to the hospital for treatment. Likewise, it is permissible for her to go out to teach and to study, because these are among the greatest needs, as long as she avoids beautifying herself, wearing perfume and gold, silver and diamond jewelry etc.

The mourning woman is required to take care of five things:

1. To remain in the house in which she was living when her husband died, if that is easy for her.

2. To avoid wearing beautiful clothing.

3. To avoid perfume, unless she was menstruating, in which case, she may use incense once she becomes purified fromThe Book of Al-'Iddah her menses.

4. Not to wear gold, silver and diamond jewelry or the like.

5. Not to wear Kuhi or henna. Evidence for what we have mentioned has been authentically reported from the Prophet ﷺ And Allah is the Granter of success.
