Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 7239 — What Has Been Reported Regarding Mourning
عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ رضي الله عنها عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ: ((الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا لَا تَلْبَسُ الْمُعَصْفَرَ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ وَلَا الْمُمَشَّقَةَ وَلَا الْحُلِيَّ وَلَا تَخْتَضِبُ وَلَا تَكْتَحِلُ۔))
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the ruling regarding a woman whose husband has passed away, that she should not wear yellow clothes dyed with safflower, nor clothes dyed with ochre (red clay), nor wear jewelry, nor apply henna, nor use kohl.
