Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 196 Part 1/3

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

The Kitzur exempts an onen, whose relative has died and is not yet buried, from all positive mitzvos, even when others tend the deceased, and does not let him be stringent. For bread eaten before the burial and not yet digested, the Kitzur has birkas hamazon said after the burial.

Key points

• Rabbinic prohibitions still bind an onen, so the Kitzur has him wash for bread without a bracha.
• The Kitzur denies onen status to a relative elsewhere if relatives obligated to mourn are by the deceased.
• The Kitzur does not require shoes removed before burial, but forbids an onen to sit on a chair or bed.
