Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a woman in the waiting period of widowhood to leave her house to visit her relatives, provided she only spends the night in her husband's house?
Answer:
No, as for visiting, if she feels confined during the day and goes to sit with her neighbor or a relative from her own family, there is no harm. She may go to socialize with her neighbors or those living near her house during the day, as long as she does not violate the rules. As for going to visit relatives, it is they who visit her, not she who visits them, because she is not permitted to go out. Yes.
