The questioner:
My grandmother is advanced in age, and she is in the waiting period following her husband’s death. She is unable to remain in her home alone because she cannot care for herself. Is it permissible for her to go to one of her daughters?
The Shaykh:
Do you mean she observes the waiting period at one of her daughters’ homes? There is nothing wrong with that, if she needs someone to serve her or keep her company. There is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
The questioner:
And is it permissible for her to move from one house to another?
The Shaykh:
To a relative, there is nothing wrong with it. And during the day, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
