Question
A person whose son passed away abroad and his coffin will be brought to the country for burial only in two days, what is his status in the meantime?
Answer
He is an onen, and his status is like that of a mourner in all respects except for removing shoes, and regarding the obligation of mitzvot, he is obligated in everything.
