Mourning Periods of Believing Women

SUMMARY: It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for any deceased person more than three days, except for her husband.

It was narrated from Hafsah the wife of the Prophet that: the Messenger of Allah , said: "It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for any deceased person for more than three days, except for her husband".
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَحِلُّ لاِمْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ أَنْ تُحِدَّ عَلَى مَيِّتٍ فَوْقَ ثَلاَثٍ إِلاَّ عَلَى زَوْجٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to mourn for any deceased person more than three days, except for her husband. This means that if a woman's relative or friend passes away, she should only grieve them up to three days. However, if her husband passes away then she can grieve him as long as she needs to. This hadith also teaches us about the importance of belief in Allah and the Last Day; it is an essential part of being a Muslim and should be taken seriously by all believers. Additionally, this hadith reminds us that we should be mindful of our emotions when dealing with death; while grief is natural and necessary at times, we must remember that there are limits set by Islam on how much time we can spend mourning someone's passing away.
