The departure of a woman in the waiting period after her husband's death to perform 'Umrah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman who is in the waiting period after her husband's death to go out to perform 'Umrah?

Answer:
No, she does not go out to perform 'Umrah or Hajj. She must wait until the waiting period ends, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the woman whose husband died: "Remain in your house"

Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1204Sahih (Darussalam)
. However, if her child died on the way, or if her husband died while she was on the way, they say that if she has reached the distance for shortening the prayer, meaning she was in a state of travel, she completes her 'Umrah. Or, if she was not in a state of travel, she returns to her place of residence.
