Question
It is explained in the Shulchan Aruch, Siman 378, Seif 2, that a woman in mourning sitting shiva should not receive a meal of consolation from men. The question is whether the restriction is on serving the food or on the ownership of the food. In other words, can a woman send a man to bring the meal of consolation to a woman, and can a man send a woman to give the meal of consolation to a woman in mourning?
Answer
Care should be taken that a woman prepares the food for another woman and also serves it.
