What is meant by the house in which a woman observes her waiting period for the death of her husband?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The woman observing the waiting period does not leave the house in which her husband died. What is meant by "the house" here? Does this mean that if she was in her parents' house and her husband was traveling and died during his journey, she must remain there? Or does this mean she observes the waiting period in her parents' house or her husband's family's house?

The Shaykh : No, it is the house in which she received the news of his death, provided there is no hardship for her in remaining in the house where she received the news of his death.
