Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: Her husband has passed away and she is still in the waiting period ('iddah). Is it permissible for her to take her young children to the garden near their house and go out with them?
Answer:
No, she does not go out with them. But she may take her young children out, provided they return to her; there is no harm in that if she trusts them and knows they will return, or if an adult goes out with them. As for her, she does not go out.
