Question
His father passed away a few years ago, and now his grandfather has passed away, and several uncles are sitting shiva for his grandfather. Does he have to observe some mourning laws until Shabbat?
Answer
He does not observe mourning customs at all, as the custom to observe mourning practices is out of respect for his father or mother who are sitting shiva, and since they have passed away, there is no reason to observe this mourning.
