In Islam after 90 days is ok, But Somalis usually wait a little longer to void some awkwardness, with relatives etc. The woman needs to grieve and get over her deceased husband. You move in too fast and you could face dealing with some emotional issues, who needs that. If kids are involved its even more challenging. Unless she murdered the deceased nigga :lol: then the sooner the better.

I think for a widow, dating is xaraam or dhaqan xumo.
Dhaqanka Somaaliyeed says that a brother, cousin or close relative of the diseased husband should Dumaal her. And if for some reason that becomes difficult or the widow doesn't accept a proposal from them, then she must wait for acceptable and suitable men to approach and propose after which she can pick the most suited and acceptable (acceptable to reerka Ninka ka dhintey if there are children ) but it is Very much disproved and frowned upon, for a widow to start chasing men no matter how long has past since she became a widow.

However, since these are the times where dhaqan xumo and xaraam are fashionable, there maybe nothing stopping here from dating soon as the funeral ends.

Back home maybe dumaal is possible, but in the west it is hard. Dating could be interpreted differently, AW could be thinking just like talking to the woman about marriage and nothing dhaqan xumo about that, you maybe thinking in western context and the shenanigans that come with it. Either way the woman needs a man and nobody has the right to tell her not to live her life after the death of her husband.

Iddah lasts 4 months and 10 days

Whoever from amongst you dies and leaves behind wives, the wives will hold themselves [from marriage] for four months and ten days. (Al Baqrah: 234)
