Shiva: Difference between revisions

from Shulchan Aruch YD 380:14 it is clear that it is permitted for the renter to finish up the rental period that started before the owner became an avel.</ref>

# The mourner may not work. He can get someone else to do his work for him.<ref>Rama YD 380:16. Even though the Shach 380:17 disagrees with the reasoning of the Levush for the Rama, Gesher Hachaim 1:21:3:4 follows the Levush. The Shach would only permit it if there is a loss to the employer. </ref>

# If a partner in a company is an avel, the entire company has to close. The other partners who aren't in aveilut can work in their own houses in private unless it'll become known that the work is being done for the business at the time.<ref>Shulchan Aruch YD 380:21, Chazon Ovadia (Aveilut v. 2 p. 152). The Gesher Hachaim 1:21:5:7 writes that the minhag is to reopen the company after 3 days of aveilut. See Pitchei Teshuva 380:4 about a sale of the business to the other partners during shiva.</ref>

# If a partner in the company dies the partnership is undone and the other partner can work. This doesn't only apply if there are no inheritors of the deceased who will mourn him but even if the deceased has a child inheriting them and mourning them the other partner can work when the child is an avel since halachically the original partnership has been disbanded.<ref>Gesher Hachaim 1:21:5:10</ref>
