Prohibition of Mourning beyond Three Days (For Women)


 
Hadith 1774

Zainab bint Abu Salamah (Radhi Allahu Huma) said: I went to Umm Habibah radiyallah anha  the wife of the Prophet Sallalahu aleihi wa, when her father Abu Sufyan bin Harb radiyallahu anhu died. Umm Habibah radiyallah anha sent for a yellow coloured perfume or something else like it, and she applied it to a slave-girl and then rubbed it on her own cheeks and said: "By Allah, I have no need for perfume, I heard the Messenger of Allah Sallalahu aleihi wa saying from the pulpit,

`It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for the dead beyond three days, except for the death of her husband; in which case the period of mourning is of four months and ten days.'''  

Zainab said: I then visited Zainab, daughter of Jahsh radiyallah anha when her brother died; she sent for perfume and applied it and
then said: "Beware! By Allah, I don't feel any need of perfume but I heard the Messenger of Allah Sallalahu aleihi wa saying from the pulpit,

`It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn the dead beyond three days except in case of her husband (for whom the period is) four months and ten days.''' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary: The period of mourning the husband's death is four months and ten days while ordinarily it is three days only (for others). The reasons behind mourning the dead husband is: Firstly, the purification of womb.

Secondly, it is a mark of respect for the relation and love between husband and wife. The scent which was used in the two incidents reported in this Hadith occurred after the stipulated period of mourning in ordinary cases - that is three days. After the expiry of the mourning period, the woman is allowed to resume her routine. The Hadith mentions the man's right over his wife after his death; it also shows the importance of conjugal ties in Islam.
