Question
Is it permissible to say good morning or good night to a mourner?
Answer
During the seven days of mourning, it is forbidden to say "good morning" or "good night" to a mourner. However, after the seven days, it is permissible to say "good morning" to a mourner for a father or mother. Only the greeting "shalom," which is the name of the Almighty, is forbidden. However, it seems that asking "How are you?" is also considered a form of greeting that is forbidden.
