Tzidkat'cha in the presence of a mourner
If one is in shul on a Shabbos afternoon and a mourner (who is in his 7 days) is davening there, does the minyan say Tzidkat'cha? My logic -- during the week,one does not say tachanun in the house of a mourner (or, if the mourner must daven in shul, in the shul). My siddur says that we don't say Tzaidkat'cha on a Shabbat that, if it were a weekday,w e would not say tachanun on. Not saying tzidkat'cha is therefore not a demonstration of public mourning by the mourner (which is not allwoed on Shabbat) but a reaction to a person's presence. If a mourner's saying kaddish is not a public display of mourning (nor would changing seats in shul even though it is driven by mourning) why would NOT saying the prayer be a problem?
