The waiting period woman leaving her house to go to her son's house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman whose husband has passed away, and she has entered the waiting period of widowhood,

The Shaykh:
A woman.

The questioner:
A woman whose husband has passed away, so she entered the waiting period of widowhood. Since she lives in one house and her son lives in another house, but they share one courtyard, and they are close to each other, her question is: Is it permissible for her to leave her house to go to her son's house?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it, as long as they are neighbors with a courtyard between them where they meet, there is no harm, yes, this is like one house, yes.
