The Ruling on an Elderly Woman Staying Outside Her Home During the Waiting Period
An elderly woman whose husband has passed away has only married daughters, and it is difficult for them to stay with her. Is she allowed to move between their homes for her care or to settle with one of them during the waiting period?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If a woman fears for herself the temptation in her marital home, it is permissible for her to move to the house of her daughters or sons, and God knows best.
