The Widow's Departure to Care for Her Mother
A woman married at the age of fifty, and her husband, who was elderly, has passed away. She is now in her waiting period, and her mother is in the hospital. Is it permissible for her to stay with her mother to care for her?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to leave the house without necessity. If there is a clear necessity, it is permissible; otherwise, it is not. And God knows best.
