Question
If one of his relatives dies on Shabbat, do we bless the True Judge on Shabbat, or do we wait until the time of rending the garments?
Answer
The main ruling is that one should bless the True Judge at the time of the soul's departure or upon hearing the news of the death, even on Shabbat. Since this blessing is not for the rending of garments but for the bad news of a relative's death, the rending is done after Shabbat without a blessing. The custom is to bless and rend the garments close to the burial.
