Sahih al-Bukhari 5344

Translation

(regarding the Verse): 'If any of you dies and leaves wives behind,' That was the period of the 'Iddah which the widow was obliged to spend in the house of the late husband. Then Allah revealed: And those of you who die and leave wives should bequeath for their wives a year's maintenance and residence without turning them out, but if they leave, there is no blame on you for what they do of themselves, provided it is honorable (i.e. lawful marriage) (2.240) Mujahid said: Allah has ordered that a widow has the right to stay for seven months and twenty days with her husband's relatives through her husband's will and testament so that she will complete the period of one year (of 'Iddah). But the widow has the right to stay that extra period or go out of her husband's house as is indicated by the statement of Allah: 'But if they leave there is no blame on you,... ' (2.240) Ibn ʿAbbas said: The above Verse has cancelled the order of spending the period of the 'Iddah at her late husband's house, and so she could spend her period of the 'Iddah wherever she likes. And Allah says: 'Without turning them out.' 'Ata said: If she would, she could spend her period of the 'Iddah at her husband's house, and live there according to her (husband's) will and testament, and if she would, she could go out (of her husband's house) as Allah says: 'There is no blame on you for what they do of themselves.' (2.240) 'Ata added: Then the Verses of inheritance were revealed and the order of residence (for the widow) was cancelled, and she could spend her period of the 'Iddah wherever she would like, and she was no longer entitled to be accommodated by her husband's family.

  machine translationHe claimed that on the authority of Mujāhid. And ʿAṭāʾ said: Ibn ʿAbbās said: This verse abrogated her waiting period (ʿiddah) at her husband's family's home, so she observes her waiting period wherever she wishes. And the saying of Allah, the Exalted: {غَيْرَ إِخْرَاجٍ}. And ʿAṭāʾ said: If she wishes, she may observe her waiting period at her husband's family's home and stay in the residence bequeathed to her, and if she wishes, she may leave, because of the saying of Allah: {فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا فَعَلْنَ}. ʿAṭāʾ said: Then the inheritance came and abrogated the right of residence, so she observes her waiting period wherever she wishes, and she has no right of residence.
