What is the waiting period of a woman whose husband has died, leaving behind two sons from another woman?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Due to very compelling circumstances, it is not a problem. The important thing is that this house is the house of the deceased husband, and she has two sons who are not hers, but rather from her co-wife. Good, fine. How old are they? Are they adults? Therefore, she should complete the waiting period in the same house. Then, she must not adorn herself or use perfume, and she must not speak if a suitor proposes to her, if she is eligible for that, until the waiting period has ended. This is what comes to mind. It is not merely permissible, Professor, but it is obligatory. Yes, yes. By the two sons? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Ah, yes. If they console her, they console her without seclusion. Yes, and may Allah bless you. No, yes. It is necessary throughout the waiting period. Yes, no, that is after the waiting period has ended. Yes. What is obligatory? No, it is not obligatory for her. She has the choice. I am sorry, what will it be for you? Is she a sister? Ah, in that case, she is seeking her own benefit. Yes, yes. Yes, yes. Because these are mahram (relatives one may not marry) for her. Yes. And I want to ask you, Adnan, for a long time.
