Who is a widow?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Or the wife of the husband, I mean the wife is the woman who is the wife of the husband.
The Shaykh : Yes. Without him, she would be a widow, or it can also be said that she becomes a second widow, such as a person who has a sister or a daughter whose husband has died and he is her guardian. All of this is correct to call her a widow because of him. She falls under the category of the poor if she is poor; if she is poor, she is included among the poor.
