A woman whose husband has passed away must observe a mourning period () of four months and ten days. During this time, she is not permitted to spend the night outside her home or go out at night, except in cases of necessity. She is also not allowed to travel for the obligatory Hajj or for any other purpose. Based on this, it is not permissible for a woman observing iddah to visit her family and stay with them to spend the Eid holiday.
