A woman is not permitted to travel during her (waiting period) after her husband's death, except in cases of extreme necessity that cannot be delayed, such as caring for her sick daughter if there is no one else available. A condition for her travel is the presence of her own (unmarriageable kin), even if her husband's brother is a mahram to her daughter, he is not a mahram to her.
