Question
During the seven days of mourning, when respected businessmen come to offer condolences, and there is a concern of future financial loss if wearing unlaundered clothes, is it permissible to wear laundered clothes?
Answer
It is permissible to be lenient in wearing laundered clothes in case of financial loss, by having someone else wear them first. If mourning for a father or mother, the garment worn must be torn.
