Question
Is bathing prohibited for women during the thirty-day mourning period?
Answer
For Ashkenazim, according to the primary law, the prohibition of bathing in hot water applies also to women. However, in cases of great distress or necessity, a married woman may be lenient and bathe in hot water. For Sephardim, there is no prohibition on bathing after the seven days.
