Is it permissible for a woman in the waiting period after her husband's death to go to celebrations?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a woman whose husband has died go to weddings, celebrations, and outings with her family?

Answer:
No, no, she must stay in the house and not leave it except for her needs, specifically during the day, and she does not go to houses of celebration, outings, or anything else until her waiting period ends. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the woman whose husband died:
Remain in the house until the book reaches its term.امكثي في البيت حتى يبلغ الكتاب أجله.
Yes.
