The Ruling on the Travel of a Woman in the Waiting Period

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a mother, after her father passed away a month ago, to go to our farm, which is eighty kilometers from the area and where we have a house? Is it permissible for her to stay there for several nights?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to travel while she is in the waiting period following her husband's death. She is required to stay in the house where her husband died and where she is residing. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the woman whose husband has died:
Remain in the house until the book reaches its term.امكثي في البيت حتى يبلغ الكتاب أجله.
Yes.
