Is it permissible for a woman whose husband has died to postpone her iddah due to her need to complete burial and guardianship procedures, in addition to closing her husband's house in another city? And is she allowed to go out during the iddah to attend to essential needs, such as buying clothes for her children?

The waiting period (iddah (definition)) for a woman whose husband has passed away begins from the date of her husband's death. She must remain in the house where her husband died and where she was residing throughout the iddah period. It is not permissible for her to travel or spend the night outside her home. However, she may go out for necessities and needs, such as purchasing her requirements, while adhering to Islamic guidelines like wearing the hijab (definition) and avoiding seclusion (khalwa (definition)).
