Ruling on the Travel of a Widow in Iddah Due to Lack of Support
What is the ruling on a widow in iddah traveling with her young children to complete her iddah at her family's house due to the lack of someone to provide for her and take care of her and her children while they are in a foreign land?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If staying causes fitnah (temptation) and hardship, it is permissible for her to move, and God knows best.
