Mother in law living in the same house with the son in law after his wife passes away

Q: If the wife passes away, can her mother live in the same house with the son in law as she has to take care of the children?

A: Yes, it is permissible if there is no fear of them falling into fitnah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
