Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-35302"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafic that Saffiya bint Abi Ubayd suffered from an eye-complaint while she was in mourning for her husband; Abdullah Ibn Umar. She did not apply kohl until her eyes almost had ramas a dry white secretion in the corners of the eye. Malik said; A woman whose husband has died should anoint her eyes with olive oil and sesame oil and the like of that since there is no perfume in it. Malik said; A woman in mourning for her husband should not put on any jewellery - rings; anklets; or such- like; neither should she dress in any sort of colourful; striped garment unless it is coarse. She should not wear any cloth dyed with anything except black; and she should only dress her hair with things like lotus-tree leaves which do not dye the hair.
