Question
A mourning woman tore her garment after the burial as required. After a day, the garment became uncomfortable, and she wants to change it. What should she do?
Answer
For all close relatives, it is permitted to change the garment, and they do not need to tear it again. However, since a mourner is forbidden to wear laundered clothes, the garment must be used. For parents, one must tear the garment again, and some say not to change it unless necessary.
