Q: If a woman's husband has pasted away, is her father-in-law her mahram? The wife stays with her in-laws mother/father in-law, brother in-law/wife. Can she make her iddat in her current home, or should she stay with her mother and do her iddat. (The distance between her home and her mothers is 300km) or should her mother stay with her at her in-laws?
A: She may spend iddat at her in-laws place if she feels comfortable and she will be able to observe purdah with those with whom purdah is waajib.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
