Question
A person who owns a suit shop is sitting shiva for his sister. Can he send his son to sell on his behalf?
Answer
Before the burial, he can, but after the burial, it is forbidden to sell, even if the son takes the profits for himself. He can sell the shop to his son, for example, through a kinyan sudar, and place a notice on the shop that it has been sold to his son.
