Observe mourning rituals during this time such as refraining from wearing makeup or jewelry; Refrain from engaging in activities that would bring joy or pleasure such as attending parties or social gatherings; Be respectful towards those who have passed away; Rely on Allah's mercy for comfort & solace .

This hadith is about a woman whose husband had passed away and she was seeking advice on how to mourn him. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised her to observe the prescribed period of Idda for four months and ten days. This period is known as 'Iddat' in Arabic which means 'waiting'. During this time, it is recommended that widows remain in their homes and refrain from wearing any makeup or jewelry as a sign of respect for their deceased husbands. Additionally, they should not engage in any activities that would bring them joy or pleasure such as attending parties or social gatherings. This shows us that Islam encourages us to be respectful towards those who have passed away by observing certain mourning rituals during this time. It also teaches us the importance of being patient during difficult times and relying on Allah's mercy for comfort and solace.
