Not observing Hidad out of ignorance

Q 1: My mother died a long time ago, but she did not observe Hidad (prescribed mourning period during which a widow does not adorn herself and keeps to the home of her deceased husband) when my father died due to her ignorance of this obligation. Is there any blame on her? What can I do as a Kaffarah (expiation) on her behalf?


(Part No. 20; Page No. 485)  A: There is no blame on your mother for not observing Hidad, as she is excused by her ignorance. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
