The Dress Code and Speech for a Woman in Mourning for the Death of Her Husband
Is it required for a woman in mourning for her deceased husband to wear black clothing so that nothing is visible from her, and also not to respond to male relatives for the purpose of offering condolences, even with a word or a comment on social media?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: she is not required to wear black, nor to refrain from speaking with others, but rather she should stay in her house without adornment, and God knows best.
