Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20070 — A widow: which adornment she avoids

Sayyidah Umm Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The woman whose husband has died will not use kohl or dye during her waiting period ('iddah), and she will not wear dyed clothes, though she may wear the cloth called 'asb. She will not use perfume, except that when taking her bath after menstruation she may apply a little of the perfumes called qust and azfar.
