Is it permissible to inform a woman of her husband's death while she is performing the Hajj rituals, knowing that she faints upon hearing bad news?

The death of a woman's husband while she is in a state of ihram does not affect the validity of her Hajj or Umrah. However, she must be informed of his death due to the ensuing legal rulings, such as the waiting period ('iddah) and mourning (ihdad). This notification should be done gently and with admonition.
