The maidservant if her husband dies, is it permissible for her to go out to the grocery store

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Hello, yes, a question over the phone. Yes, he mentions that he has a maidservant and her husband has passed away, and this maidservant is currently in the waiting period. This woman sends her to the grocery store to bring things. What is the ruling on such a maidservant going out while she is in the waiting period?

Answer : This woman is in the waiting period. She does not go out during the day except for a need, and she does not go out at night except for a dire necessity. So if no one else is available to fulfill the needs of the household by buying necessities from the market, there is no harm in sending her out during the day, not at night. And if it is possible for someone else to fulfill the needs, she should not go out. May Allah reward you, may Allah reward you with good.
