Question
Is it permitted during the year of mourning for one's father to go out for dinner at a restaurant or a park?
Answer
If one goes out with their immediate family (spouse and children), it is permitted to eat there, but with extended family and friends, it is not allowed to go out even if not eating. Until they urge him to go out with them, and then he can go with them to the park as long as there is no food there.
