I am in the year of aveilus for my father and have some questions about the halachas of Purim
Can I attend someone else’s seuda? Where there will likely be music?
Are there limits to my own seudah? In terms of the amount of guests I can invite? Can I have music playing in my own house on Purim?
Am I allowed to give mishloach monos?
Thanks !
Answer:
You may have your seuda or attend another seuda as you do in a regular year, even if there will be music. You should not join in the dancing itself.
You may and should give Mishloach Manos, but they should not be overly fancy and elaborate.
