Ruling on Attending the Mourning for a Woman in Iddah Due to Death

Question
A man lived in Oman and passed away there, but his family and his wife's family are in Irbid, and the mourning house is in Irbid. Can the wife, who has begun her waiting period, go to Irbid for three days of mourning to receive people?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: You can stay during the mourning period in Irbid; because it is a necessity that permits you to go out, and afterwards you should settle in your home and not go out, and God knows best.
