HADITH OF THE DAY
MOURNING PERIOD (IN ISLAM)
Narrated by Um Atiyya
The Prophet (Peace & Blessings of Allah upon Him) said, "It is not lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the Last Day, to mourn for more than 3 days for a dead person, except for her husband (Iddah – 4 Months & 10 Days), in which case she should neither put kohl in her eyes, nor perfume herself, nor wear dyed clothes, except a garment of Asb"
