The Widow's Iddah Leaving Her House

Question
Is a widow in her iddah prohibited from staying overnight outside her home?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The woman in her waiting period should not leave her house except for necessity, and it is not permissible for her to spend the night outside her house; because if she needs to do something that can be done during the day, and God knows best.
