Does a woman in the waiting period after her husband's death have permission to converse with men?

Question: A woman whose husband has passed away is young. What is forbidden for her other than adornment? Does she meet men who are not her relatives, greet them, and converse with them, just like a woman who is not in mourning, on the grounds that nothing is forbidden for her in mourning except what is forbidden for her outside of mourning, considering that she is in a society that does not hesitate to shake hands? I ask for clarification of the ruling and its guidelines.

Answer: She must observe the waiting period and mourn for four months and ten days, whether she is young or old. She may speak to any men she wishes from among her relatives or others, if there is a need for it, provided she observes the hijab, avoids seclusion, and does not speak in a soft, submissive manner.
She is not permitted to shake hands with men who are not her mahram. And success is from Allah.
