The Prophet said, "It is not lawful for a lady who believes in Allah and the Last Day, to mourn for
more than three days for a dead person, except for her husband, in which case she should neither
put kohl in her eyes, nor perfume herself, nor wear dyed clothes, except a garment of 'Asb" Um

her menses whereupon she can use Qust, and Azfar (two kinds of incense).
