Question
A mourner is within a year of passing of one of his parents. Now he is getting married and wants to buy new glasses. Is he allowed to do this?
Answer
Hello,
He can give them to someone else with a similar prescription to wear them for a short time.
If there is no one to do this and he needs the new glasses to improve his vision, it is permitted to renew without this.
