Question
Is it permissible for a mourner during the year of mourning to switch places with his son due to the prohibition of sitting in his place?
Answer
Since the father desires it, he can switch places with him, as in the case where a father waives his honor, his honor is waived.
Source
A father who waives his honor, his honor is waived, as explained in Kiddushin, page 32. This is also ruled in Shulchan Aruch, Siman 240, Seif 19.
