The ruling on the travel of a woman in the waiting period after her husband’s death with her son

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: An elderly woman’s husband passed away. An elderly woman, and her husband passed away, and she traveled with her son for a need she had, and she will return to her country after a period of time. Is her action permissible?

The Shaykh:
Repeat the question.

The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe, an elderly woman’s husband passed away, and she traveled with her son for her need of him, and she will return to her country after a period of time. Is his action permissible?

The Shaykh:
She must stay in the house where her husband died and where she is, because this is one of the rulings of the waiting period (‘iddah). She must stay in the house and not leave it except for a valid religious excuse. She may move from it for a valid religious excuse where she is unable to remain in it, and she does not travel until she completes her waiting period.
