The Shaykh : No, she does not go to offer condolences, because offering condolences is a recommended practice (sunnah), and staying in the house is obligatory, and in our time, praise be to Allah, she can offer condolences while she is in her house, by means of the telephone. May Allah reward you with good. And there is no problem in the matter. Praise be to Allah, the use of saffron also, O Shaykh, for the woman in 'iddah?
