Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman whose husband has died, while she is in her waiting period, to visit her father's house without staying overnight?
Answer:
No, that is not appropriate. She must remain in the house where her husband died, and where she is, because this is one of the rulings of the waiting period and part of the mourning observance. She stays there, as visiting is not a necessity. She can contact them by telephone or mobile phone, greet them, and ask about them. Today, thank Allah, communication has become easy. It is as if she is present with them. Yes.
