Sleeping in the House of Mourning
Sleeping in the House of Mourning
Question
If someone slept in the house of mourning on the first night, is he required to sleep there for the entire seven days?
Answer
Greetings and blessings
There is no such obligation at all. The mourner himself should ideally not leave the house of mourning, but if there is no place to sleep, he is permitted to go home late in the evening to sleep there and return in the morning to the house of mourning.
With blessings,
