Ruling on the Residence of a Widow in Her Mourning Period Outside Her Husband's House
A woman whose husband has passed away has a separate room in her in-laws' house. Her father wishes for her to stay at his house to observe her mourning period, fearing that she might be alone and considering her emotional state. What is the ruling on this?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If the father's house is safer for her from fitnah, then it is better for her to move there, and God knows best.
