Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 211 Part 1/2

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How does the Kitzur set out what an avel does and wears through shiva and shloshim? In shloshim, one posek cited forbids Shabbos garments even on Shabbos, while many poskim permit them, and that is the common custom. Each person is told to check his own minhag and his Rav's psak, since standards today differ.

Key points

• From shiva to shloshim, the Kitzur allows laundered garments others wore first, or ones washed in water alone.
• The Kitzur lets a mourning new mother wear Shabbos clothes to shul, but not finer Yom Tov garments.
