Question
If someone is sitting shiva (seven-day mourning period) after the loss of his father, is it permissible for his wife to wash his clothes to be used after the shiva?
Answer
It is forbidden to wash the mourner's clothes even by another person, as the prohibition of work for the mourner applies even when performed by others.
