Mourning Periods According to Islam

SUMMARY: It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and His Messenger to mourn for anyone who dies for more than three days, except for a husband, (for whom the mourning period is) four months and ten days.

It was narrated from Zainab bint Abi Salamah that Umm Habibah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say this on this Minbar: 'It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and His Messenger to mourn for anyone who dies for more than three days, except for a husband, (for whom the mourning period is) four months and ten days'."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ، قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ عَلَى هَذَا الْمِنْبَرِ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَحِلُّ لاِمْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ أَنْ تَحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ إِلاَّ عَلَى زَوْجٍ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ وَعَشْرًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the mourning periods that are permissible according to Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that it is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and His Messenger to mourn anyone other than her husband for more than three days. For her husband, she can mourn up to four months and ten days. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our emotions when someone passes away, as we should remember that Allah has decreed death upon all of us and it is inevitable. We should also remember that grief can be expressed in different ways such as prayer or charity work instead of excessive mourning which may lead one astray from their faith.
