My husband passed away, and I have children and sheep. When I was wearing the mourning clothes, I would take these sheep out to the pastures to eat and drink, as there was no one else to do this

The questioner : The questioner says: My husband passed away, and I have children and sheep. When I was wearing the mourning clothes, I would go out to the pasture for these sheep, give them water and food, and take them to the grazing grounds, because there was no one to do this except me. I am fully veiled. What is the ruling? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : The ruling is that there is nothing wrong with this, because your going out was during the day, as I understood from the question. It is permissible for a woman observing the waiting period for the death of her husband to go out during the day if it is for a need.
