The Ruling on a Mourning Woman Washing Her Head, and What She Must Avoid

Question :

To His Eminence, the Shaikh: Are there limits regarding a mourning woman washing her head? And what is incumbent upon her if she colors her hair using dye and uses perfumed creams?

Answer:

There is no sin in a mourning woman washing her hair at anytime, whether it is by using Sidr or anything else which does not contain perfume. As for dying it or washing it with anything that contains perfume, that is not permissible, because the Messenger forbade the mourning woman from using perfume, except a little incense when she washes herself after menstruation.
