The length of `Iddah


A: It is obligatory upon a woman whose husband died and left her not pregnant to stay in the house of her husband for four months and ten days. She is not allowed to leave the houses for a trip or for visit as long as she is still in her `Iddah (woman's prescribed waiting period after divorce or widowhood). May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
