The Woman's Non-Compliance with the Waiting Period
An elderly woman whose husband has passed away cannot observe the waiting period. Is there an expiation for not observing the waiting period?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: The waiting period is a divine command that we must adhere to as it is stated, and it is forbidden for a woman not to comply with the rules of the waiting period, and she will be sinful if she does so, and she must adhere to it, and God knows best.
