Question
How should a mourner within his first seven days of mourning perform Havdalah, when there is no one to perform Havdalah for him on Saturday night?
Answer
He should perform Havdalah himself, but should not recite all the verses of joy that are said before Havdalah, and should start from the blessing over the wine. He may drink the wine, as a mourner is not prohibited from drinking wine.
