Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalamu 'alaykum wa Rahmatullahi Wabarakatuh If a woman is in her 'iddah, she can not go for Haj. This is irrespective of whether the 'iddah is due to the death of her husband or because of divorce. Therefore, she will have to go next year accompanied with a mahram. (Bahisti Zewar, Pg.361, Zam Zam) And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best Wassalamu 'alaykum Ml.
