Question
Hello, I am in a year of mourning, and the extended family - not the mourners - are going to the park. Am I allowed to join them? Are there any restrictions?
Thank you
Answer
Hello
A mourner is not allowed to go to the park with extended family or friends, [except for going out with the immediate family], even if there is no food involved.
If they insist on him joining, he may go, but not to an outing that involves food.
