What is the ruling on a woman whose husband has died going out to live with her brother?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question about a woman whose husband has died and she is living with him in a house. Does she go to live with her brother?

Answer:
She does not stay in the house where her husband died while she was in it, because this is among the rulings of the waiting period and its accompanying obligations upon death: that she remains in the house. Unless it is difficult for her to stay in the house, in which case there is no harm in her moving to another house. However, as long as it is possible to stay in the house until the completion of the waiting period, it is obligatory for her to do so.
