The place where a widow observes her waiting period in her daughter's house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man has five sons and one daughter, and he does not have a house of his own; rather, he lives with one of his sons. He says: This man passed away in the house of one of his sons, so his daughter said, “I want my mother to observe her waiting period in my house so that I can take care of her.” Given that the mother currently lives in her son's house and will have to travel to her daughter's house, is this permissible during the waiting period?

Answer:
Her daughter comes and she stays with her. Her daughter comes; it is not the woman observing the waiting period who goes. No, her daughter comes and she stays with her. Yes.
