What is the ruling on a woman in the waiting period due to her husband's death going out to perform Hajj?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: My father has passed away, and my mother wants to perform Hajj with me, but she is still in her waiting period. Is it permissible for her to perform the Hajj of Islam with her son?

Answer:
No, she should wait until next year, if Allah wills, to complete her waiting period due to death. They say that even if she dies while on the way, provided she is within the distance for shortening the prayer, she should return to her house.
