When does the mourning period of a widow begin?


437

Q 2: When does the mourning period of a widow begin? Does it begin from the date of death or date of burial?


A: The period of `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after widowhood) and mourning for the widow begins immediately after the husband dies, not after burying him. And Allah knows best. (Part No. 20; Page No. 432) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.
