Question
Should a person whose wife is in the year of mourning for her mother refrain from playing songs in the house so that she does not hear them?
Answer
The mourner cannot compel the members of his household to turn off the music against their will, and if the music is left playing, it is sufficient not to intend to derive pleasure from it. He does not need to plug his ears.
