Question
Children of the bereaved who observe mourning until Shabbat, what is the custom and from when?
Answer
Four practices are observed: bathing in hot water, not listening to music, not attending celebrations, and not wearing Shabbat clothes. In honor of Shabbat, bathing and dressing are permitted, while other customs are observed until the end of Shabbat. They are observed from the time of burial, although the bereaved begin immediately from the time of death. Sephardim do not follow this practice.
