Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: The questions for tonight are about a woman whose husband has passed away. She is in her family's house and is in the waiting period. Is it permissible for her to go to her father's house, or not?

Answer:
It is obligatory for a woman whose husband has died to remain in the house where her husband died until she completes the waiting period. This is one of the rulings of the waiting period for death: she must stay in the house where her husband died and where she was at the time of his death until the waiting period is fully completed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Remain in your house until the term is fulfilled."
