The ruling on a woman in the waiting period leaving her home to offer condolences
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In a second question, may you live long. Please. I have two of my relatives who passed away; one passed away a week ago, and one passed away yesterday. My sister’s husband passed away a week ago. She wants to go down to Jeddah to offer condolences to her sister whose husband passed away two nights ago. Is that permissible, may you live long, or not?
Answer:
No, she remains in the house where her husband died, and she stays there until the end of the waiting period for widowhood, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the widow: Yes.

Remain in the house until the book reaches its term.
امكثي في البيت حتى يبلغ الكتاب أجله.
