Question
Is it permissible for a mourner on the seventh night to fulfill the mitzvah of onah after part of the night has passed?
Answer
The mitzvah of onah should not be fulfilled except until part of the seventh day. Some are stringent until the beginning of the eighth night. In cases of great necessity, such as when the wife is in mourning and the husband needs to travel to a distant place, it is permissible to be lenient after part of the seventh night.
