Is a woman observing the iddah after her husband's death permitted to do live streams on social media that may be watched by many people, including non-mahram men?

Summary

A live stream during the iddah of bereavement is permitted if it serves a lawful purpose such as earning income by selling goods or teaching, provided the rules of iddah and ihdad (mourning) are observed. The woman must dress modestly, avoid tabarruj (displaying adornment), and avoid anything contrary to Islamic ethics or the mourning atmosphere. If the live stream has no purpose, it is better avoided to prevent slander, and it is prohibited if it involves exposure, excessive adornment or heedless conduct.
