Question
How are the three days calculated during which a mourner does not respond to greetings?
Answer
The mourning of the first three days is not calculated from the time of death, but by days. Therefore, if the burial took place even shortly before sunset, the day of burial is considered the first day, followed by two full days, after which one can respond to greetings in a soft voice when greeted.
