Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A woman’s husband passed away, and she has four children. She went to her father’s house after three days. Is what she did permissible?
Answer:
Why would she go to her father’s house? It is obligatory for her to remain in the marital home, as this is part of the mourning period and among the rulings of the waiting period: that she stays in her house. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Remain in your house until the term is fulfilled, and do not leave it except for a valid religious excuse that prevents you from staying in the house.” Yes.
