Question
How should people emerging from mourning on Erev Shabbat conduct themselves?
Answer
They sit in mourning until Shabbat itself. Preparations for Shabbat, such as cooking or cleaning the house, are permitted from the morning. Changing clothes is allowed only right before Shabbat. Bathing is prohibited, except in areas that are truly dirty. Sitting on a chair is not allowed all day.
