She came with her husband to her father's place and the husband died: where should she spend the 'idda?

Question

Question: Zayd, for medical treatment, took his wife with him and came from his home city of Jhunjhunu to the house of his wife's parents in the town of Bissau. After living for one day, he died right there in the house of his wife's parents, his wife being with him at the time of his death. Zayd was also buried in Bissau, the wife's original hometown (watan). In this case, in view of the text of al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya (Kitab al-Talaq, p. 57)

Answer

The husband had an original house where he resided and where his wife also lived with him, but he came from there temporarily and died in the house of the wife's parents. Therefore, to spend the 'idda of widowhood, the wife should go with a mahram to that very house of the husband and spend the 'idda there. So in al-Bahr al-Ra'iq (vol. 4, p. 154).
