Question

slm. when the husbands dies, is it permissible still for the wife to perform her fard hajj, when the hajj period falls within her 'idah period even though she has a mahram?

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)
