Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A doctor’s husband died forty days ago in her foreign country, and now she wants to come to Riyadh for work. She has her mahram (a relative one may not marry) with her on the journey. Is it permissible for her to come to the Kingdom for work while she is still in the 'iddah (waiting period)?
Answer:
If she is able to remain in the marital home until the completion of the 'iddah, it is obligatory for her to do so. If she is unable to remain, she may move out of it. Yes.
