Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman married a man from outside this country, then traveled with him to his country, and he died a few days ago. She is pregnant with his child. The question is: is it permissible for her to return to her country here to observe her waiting period and stay with her family? It is known that her parents are in the country where he died, but she has no relatives there.
Answer:
So she observes her waiting period in her parents' house, because her father is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) for her. She observes the waiting period in the house where her parents are. Once she completes the waiting period, she comes to her country, because she is observing the waiting period with a mahram, who is her husband's father.
