The questioner says: A woman’s husband died suddenly after he left the house, so she asked to see him after he was washed, and she insisted on going to the washing place. She is currently in 'iddah. Is it permissible for us to allow her to do so?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that; she will be reassured and find peace. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Is there not a concern with this? Yes.
