A widow going out to rest houses and for outings with her children

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the question is frequently asked about the widow: is she permitted to go out to rest houses with her children? As your honor knows, most family gatherings take place in rest houses, so is she allowed to go there?

Answer:
No, she does not go to rest houses, nor to the desert for an outing. She does not go; she stays in her house. She does not go to a rest house, nor does she go for an outing in the desert, nor does she go for visits, visiting so-and-so or visiting so-and-so. It is not permissible, nor for gatherings. None of this is permissible. This is not among the necessities. She stays in her house until she completes the waiting period, otherwise, what is the difference between her and a woman whose husband has not died? She has not entered a cave. Yes.
