وَٱلَّذِينَ يُتَوَفَّوۡنَ مِنكُمۡ وَيَذَرُونَ أَزۡوَٰجٗا وَصِيَّةٗ لِّأَزۡوَٰجِهِم مَّتَٰعًا إِلَى ٱلۡحَوۡلِ غَيۡرَ إِخۡرَاجٖۚ فَإِنۡ خَرَجۡنَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِي مَا فَعَلۡنَ فِيٓ أَنفُسِهِنَّ مِن مَّعۡرُوفٖۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٞ
And those who are taken in death among you and leave wives behind - for their wives is a bequest: maintenance for one year without turning [them] out. But if they leave [of their own accord], then there is no blame upon you for what they do with themselves in an acceptable way.96 And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Tafsir · 2:240
Al-Mukhtasar
Those of you who pass away leaving behind wives must make a bequest for them to be provided with accommodation and maintenance for one year in which your heirs may not remove them. This is to make up for the loss they have suffered and out of respect for the deceased. If they leave before the end of the year by their own choice, there will be no sin on either you or them for what they do with themselves in terms of beautification and making themselves pleasant. Allah is Mighty, and no one can overpower Him. He is Wise in His planning, legislation, and decree. It should be noted that the majority of Quranic exegetes are of the opinion that the law contained in this verse has been abrogated by the verse: {When someone passes away and leaves behind a wife who is not pregnant, these women must wait for a period of four months and ten days} [Baqarah:234]
