Ibn Abi Najih narrates from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him): 'And those of you who die and leave wives behind, they (the wives) shall wait (concerning themselves) for four months and ten days' [Surah al-Baqarah: 234], that is, they shall observe the 'iddah.
Allah Almighty said: 'And those of you who die and leave wives behind should bequeath for their wives provision for a year without turning them out; but if they leave, there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves in a recognised manner' [Surah al-Baqarah: 240].
"And those of you who die and leave wives behind should bequeath for their wives a year's maintenance, (directing) that they not be turned out; if they leave of their own accord, there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves in a recognised manner."
Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Allah Almighty appointed for her a bequest of nine months and twenty nights; if she wishes, she may stay in the place of her bequest, and if she wishes, she may leave, and that is this saying of Allah Almighty: 'But if they leave, there is no blame upon you for what they do' [Surah al-Baqarah: 240]. This concerns the 'iddah as it is obligatory upon her; this is what Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) held.
Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) said that it is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him): Then this verse, 'without turning them out', abrogated her spending the 'iddah with his family; she may spend the 'iddah wherever she wishes. Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If she wishes, she may spend the 'iddah with his family or in the place of her bequest, and if she wishes she may leave, that is, from her husband's family, taking as evidence this saying of Allah Almighty: 'But if they leave, there is no blame upon you' [Surah al-Baqarah: 240] to the end of the verse.
Ata' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Then (the verses of) inheritance came and abrogated the residence; she may spend the 'iddah wherever she wishes, and she has no (right to) residence. Bukhari narrated it.
