Re: Looking for a Hadith. Please help.
40 days of mourning allowed for a woman. How much mourning is allowed for a mother?
40 days of mourning is referred to Iddat. A mother is not supposed to sit in Iddat if in case, her any child dies.
P.S, a mother is allowed to mourn for 40 days only if her husband dies. Only if the father of her children dies.
Re: Looking for a Hadith. Please help.
yar why the heck are we comparing mothers and wives? Just because more mourning days are recommended for a wife does not make her better or worst than a mother.
And wife's mourning period constitutes 3 monthly cycles to confirm that she is not pregnant with her deceased husband's child. It's more of a logistic issue than an honor to be mourning for forty days.
Bus tum ko behes kerna zaroori hai for no reason at all.
This. Only this.
Thanks for bringing it in TLK :)
