The widow’s overnight stay with her husband’s family after her mother-in-law’s death
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman’s husband has passed away, and she is currently in the waiting period and observing the mourning rites. Her husband’s mother has also just passed away. Her question is: Is she permitted to go to her husband’s family and stay the night with them? Is that permissible for her?
The Shaykh:
No, she may go to them during the day to offer her condolences, or if they need her service, she may serve them, and then she must return to the house where her husband died to spend the night there. She must not spend the night anywhere else.
The questioner:
You.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
