The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man dies and leaves behind a woman who is unable to observe her waiting period in her home,
The Shaykh:
and if.
The questioner:
If a man dies and leaves behind a woman who is unable to observe her waiting period in her home because it is rented, and there is only one month left on the lease, is she required to pay the rent to complete her waiting period if she is able to do so?
The Shaykh:
No, absolutely not. She is not required to, even if it is the first day. If she moves, she is not required to rent a house in order to observe her waiting period in it. However, if she is able to remain in the house, she stays in it. But if she is not able to remain, she moves to another place. Yes.
