Mourner going out on Purim for mincha

Question:

On Purim, is a mourner allowed to leave his house to go to shul to daven mincha ? If possible, could you please provide a source.
Thank you.

 

Answer:

Hello,

A mourner during shiva does not go to shul to daven mincha. This is because Purim is not like Shabbos, in this aspect.
