Question

Should a mourner on the seventh day after getting up from Shiva perform the Priestly Blessing?

Answer

The mourner gets up from Shiva only shortly after the morning prayer, as part of the seventh day is considered as the whole day, yet he should not perform the Priestly Blessing throughout the seventh day.

Source

Since the reason he does not perform the Priestly Blessing is because he is not in a state of joy, and not due to the mourning laws that apply to him.
