Condolences from the Husband's Brothers to the Wife
The woman whose husband has passed away is 60 years old. Is it permissible for her husband's brothers and their children to offer her condolences, and what are the rules that must be adhered to?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for them to console her as long as she sits with them modestly, and she is only prohibited from adornment and going out without necessity, so she observes her waiting period in her house. However, her sitting with people in her house is not prohibited, and God knows best.
