عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أُمِّ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةِ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَزِيدُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((لَا تُحِدُّ الْمَرْأَةُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ إِلَّا عَلَى زَوْجٍ فَإِنَّهَا تُحِدُّ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا وَلَا تَلْبَسُ ثَوْبًا مَصْبُوغًا إِلَّا عَصْبًا وَلَا تَكْتَحِلُ وَلَا تَمَسُّ طِيبًا إِلَّا عِنْدَ طُهْرِهَا قَالَ يَزِيدُ أَوْ فِي طُهْرِهَا فَإِذَا طَهُرَتْ مِنْ حَيْضِهَا نُبْذَةً مِنْ قُسْطٍ وَأَظْفَارٍ۔))
Sayyida Umm ‘Atiyyah Ansariyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No woman should mourn over any deceased person for more than three days, except for her husband, for whose death a wife will mourn for four months and ten days. During this period, she should not wear dyed clothing, but she may wear clothing made of dyed yarn. She should neither apply kohl nor use perfume, except that after purification from menstruation, she may use Indian aloeswood or musk.
