The waiting period of a woman whose husband died by suicide and her place of residence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman from outside this country who asks, saying that she found her husband dead, having caused his own death near the house. She says this was a week ago, and that she has been exhausted from thinking about this matter until she is almost going mad. Her question is: Am I allowed to go and observe my waiting period in my parents' house rather than in my husband's house?

Answer:
You are required to notify the court about this and take the judge's opinion on it. Yes.
