How should a widow observe mourning in clothes according to sharia?

A woman whose husband has died must be in mourning for four months and ten days. That is, she should refrain from any kind of beautification that can attract people’s attention, whether at home or outdoors. She is forbidden to wear bright clothes, even if these clothes are made of coarse fabric with beautiful patterns embroidered on it.

She is forbidden to anoint her hair with oils with or without a fragrant odor, to apply makeup and antimony to the eyes (except for medicinal purposes in which case it is to be applied at night and washed off during the day, if it does no harm), use incense and even consume products that leave a fragrant perfume. That is, everything that may arouse interest in her from the opposite sex is prohibited.

She is forbidden to wear any kind of jewelry, in whatever form: earrings, rings, bracelets, whether made of ivory or other material (even plastic), if these are considered as jewelry in the region where she lives.

If this misfortune (the loss of her husband) happens at the moment when she is in this (attractive) form, then she needs to wash off all incense, oils and makeup and change into modest clothes.
