Is the wife considered a traveler, and must she do what is mentioned in Fatwa no. 22833, as long as she was not in the husband’s house at the time of his death but was in another country for treatment with his permission? And does the husband’s hesitation about her returning to him when he was alive have an effect on her place of residence during her iddah, or can she complete her iddah in another country with her family?
