The 'iddah (waiting period) of a woman during the period of mourning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman who is in the 'iddah during the period of mourning to go out to visit one of her relatives?

Answer:
It is permissible for her to go out during the day for a need, such as buying something she needs that no one else can buy for her, or visiting a sick relative to monitor his treatment and check on his condition. There is nothing wrong with this during the day, but not at night.
