The Ruling on Wearing Black as Mourning for the Deceased

Question
What is the ruling on wearing black clothing in mourning for the deceased and not as a sign of grief?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is better to avoid all these formalities; for they have no significance in the Sharia, and God knows best.
