Question
Is it true that a mourner can lead prayers during the seven days of mourning?
Answer
During the seven days of mourning for a father or mother, the mourner leads all prayers on weekdays. However, in mourning for other relatives, he should not lead the prayers unless there is no one else who knows how to pray.
