The Deceased Husband's Widow Returning to Work During the Waiting Period
A woman whose husband has passed away and has children was forced to leave her home during her waiting period to settle inheritance papers, manage her household affairs, and return to work due to her need to support her children. What is the ruling on her leaving?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for a widow in her waiting period to leave her house for necessity; to fulfill her needs and obtain her maintenance. What she has done in this regard is permissible, and God knows best.
