Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 19960 — A widow: those who said she observes

Awf bin Abi Jadd (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A friend of mine died, and he had a field in Quba'. His wife said to me: "Ask Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) whether I may go out and work in this field." I came to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) and asked him, and he said: "She may go out during the day, but she may not spend the night away."
