Ml. Abduz Zaman · Accepted Answer

In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh

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.
