Whenever it got soiled with blood of menses we used to apply saliva to the blood spot and rub off the
blood with our nails.

We were forbidden to mourn for a dead person for more than three days except in the case of a
husband for whom mourning was allowed for four months and ten days. (During that time) we were
not allowed to put kohl (Antimony eye power) in our eyes or to use perfumes or to put on colored
clothes except a dress made of `Asr (a kind of Yemen cloth, very coarse and rough). We were allowed
very light perfumes at the time of taking a bath after menses and also we were forbidden to go with
the funeral procession .
