- Q. Is there any heter for a woman in the year of aveilus for a parent, after shloshim, to wear new clothes on Yom Tov that were bought before the petirah but not yet worn?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that she should donate the clothing with a kinyan (proper acquisitive act) to a friend and then borrow that new clothing.
