Ruling on the Maintenance of a Widow in Iddah

Question
From where does a widow in Iddah spend on herself after the husband's death? Does she spend from the estate's funds before they are distributed to the heirs, or must they be distributed first?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Distribution must start, and she should spend from her share, and God knows best.
