#5251 – Mourning Until the Morning?
Question
An Avel that is sitting shiva since this last Sunday and will have to end Shiva before Shabbos on Friday which is also Asarah Beteveth and will be davening Mincha in Shul with the reading of the Torah.
When does he end his Shiva? Can he have an Aliya Latorah on the mincha of that day?
Answer
In principle, he is still ordained on the shiva principles until the morning of Shabbos, keeping the private prohibitions that are not seen as mourning in public. He can’t get an Aliya Latorah on mincha before Shabbos.
