The Ruling on Staying in the Non-Independent Waiting House

Question
A woman whose husband has passed away lives in her in-laws' house, where there are male children present. Where should she observe her waiting period, in her parents' house or in her in-laws' house?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If she fears temptation for herself, she should observe her waiting period in her family's home, and God knows best.
