Spending iddat in different houses
Question
A woman has two sons. Her husband died. Where she should spend her iddat? When her husband was alive they used to live some days with one son and some days with the other. Can she live with both sons spending some days with one and some with other?

For the entire duration of the iddat she should live in just one home.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
