Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. This questioner says: What is the ruling on a woman in the waiting period whose husband has died leaving her in the marital home, if she goes to her female relatives, her mother or her maternal aunt, because she fears for her safety during those days, and goes to spend the night with them? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
She should remain in the house, the marital home where her husband died, as long as she is able to do so. There is no harm in her going out during the day for her needs, or going to her neighbors during the day. As for the night, she must stay in the house, except if she fears for her safety, as the questioner stated. If she fears for her safety, there is no harm in her moving from it to a place where she feels safe.
