The imams have agreed that it is not permissible for a woman whose husband has died to travel for Hajj during her (waiting period) of mourning. It is not permissible for a woman to travel during the iddah of death for Hajj according to the madhhabs of the four imams. The mention of not having leave available except at this time is not a -compliant justification that permits the travel of a woman who is in the iddah of death.
