Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious the Most Merciful
Everyone is required to respect the days of the martyrdom of lady of Islam, Fatimah Zahra (as). Therefore, the days of the first Fatemiyyeh, 13th, 14th and 15th of Jumada al-Ula (24th, 25th and 26th of Esfand 1392), and the days of the second Fatemiyyeh, 1st, 2nd and the 3rd of Jumada al-Thani (12th, 13th and 14th of Farvardin 1393) should be allotted to mourning ceremony so everyone benefit from its blessings.
But holding other ceremonies (in compliance with all religious standards), in the period between these days, is permitted. Meanwhile, the New Year customs such as visiting, housecleaning, and the like, are permitted too. I wish you success under the grace of Allah (swt) forever.
