Ruling on the Night Stay of a Mourning Woman Outside Her Home

Question
Is it permissible for a woman in mourning due to divorce to go out to take her university exams and to stay overnight at her brother's house?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible to go out if there is a necessity for that, and what you mentioned is considered a necessity. However, she should spend the night in her house if possible, and God knows best.
