We ask Allah SWT to grant him for those who are in the world.

Is it allowed for her mother to leave her house and to move in with the daughter or must

she stay in the house where she lived in with her father but now there is nobody there.

when their husbands pass away.

The response to this question is that before we get to the fit or the legal aspect, I think

also it is important for us to give some generic advice because of Allah so many people

especially in this crisis they are passing away and not only this but when a person passes

away, generally speaking the family has not prepared, the family does not know what to

do and this is a knowledge that is essential and necessary for every single Muslim.

And unfortunately all too often we don't study or learn and then when it happens we don't

know what to do.

And so this small mini question, I'll take it as an opportunity to remind ourselves
