Q 2:
Is it permissible for a woman observing Hidad (prescribed mourning period during which a widow does not adorn herself and keeps to the home of her deceased husband) to eat red meat and cook at home? Is her son-in-law a Mahram (an unmarriageable relative) for her?
A:
She is permitted to eat red meat and the like, cook at home, and do her housework. Her son-in-law is one of her Mahrams. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
