Question

My grandfather passed away on Purim (with the burial after Purim). Should we inform his son who is not in town, or is it better to wait until after Purim?

Answer

To avoid ruining the joy of Purim and to avoid the dispute over observing mourning on Purim, it is preferable to wait until after Purim if there is no need to inform him for the burial arrangements.
