Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Abu Rayd from Bisha, please join us, Abu Rayd. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. I have two questions, if you please, O Walid. Please go ahead. The first question: my father passed away, may Allah have mercy on him and on all the deceased Muslims, about fifteen days ago. My mother and my aunt are nearby, right next to my house. Is it permissible for them to come to my house, next to the house, for occasions at night?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
He says: His mother, about fifteen days ago, he says: My mother and my aunt are near me. Do they come to me to make excuses and visit me in my house?

The Shaykh:
This is during the day; they come during the day. But at night, they remain in the houses where they were when he died; they stay there at night. As for the day, it is permissible for the woman in the waiting period to go out for her needs during the day, not at night. Yes.
