Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
His final question, may Allah protect you, says: We would like to inquire about the obligations and rulings concerning a woman toward her husband who has passed away.

Answer:
Her husband left her through death, and we seek help from Allah. However, among her rights is that she inherits from him; among her rights is that she inherits from him. Likewise, among her obligations is that she observes the waiting period for death, observing the waiting period for death out of respect for the marital bond that existed between them; she observes the waiting period for death.
Among the obligatory rulings upon her is the state of iddah during the waiting period, which is staying in the house where her husband died while she was in it. Likewise, she must avoid all types of perfume, whether liquid, solid, or otherwise. Likewise, she must avoid adornment on her body with dyes, kohl, and the like. Likewise, she must avoid adornment in her clothing; she avoids adornment in her clothing, so she does not wear ornate clothes, but rather clothes that have no adornment. She avoids wearing jewelry of all kinds until the waiting period ends. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
