The answer

It is obligatory for a woman whose husband has died to reside in his home, and the heirs are not permitted to evict her during her waiting period ('). After the 'iddah ends, the house becomes the property of the heirs, and the woman is one of them. She is entitled to one-fourth of the inheritance due to the absence of a child, as Allah Almighty says: "And for them is one fourth of what you leave if you have no child. But if you have a child, then for them is one eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt."
