Se’if 1א׳

מֵאַחַר שֶׁהַיּוֹרְשִׁים חַיָּבִים בִּמְזוֹנוֹת הָאַלְמָנָה, מַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיהָ שֶׁלָּהֶם. וְאִם הַיּוֹרְשִׁים אוֹמְרִים לָהּ: טְלִי מַעֲשֵׂה יָדַיִךְ לִמְזוֹנוֹתַיִךְ, אֵין שׁוֹמְעִין לָהֶם. אֲבָל אִם הִיא אוֹמֶרֶת כֵּן, שׁוֹמְעִין לָהּ:

Since the heirs are obligated in the widow's sustenance, her handiwork is theirs. If the heirs tell her "take your handiwork for your sustenance", we do not listen to them. But if she says so, we listen to her.

Se’if 2ב׳

אִם הָיְתָה מֵינִיקָה, יְכוֹלָה הִיא לוֹמַר: אֵינִי מֵינִיקָה אֶלָּא בְּשָׂכָר. וִיכוֹלָה הִיא לִתְבֹּעַ כְּתֻבָּתָהּ לְאַלְתַּר, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לִנָּשֵׂא תּוֹךְ עֶשְׂרִים וְאַרְבָּעָה חֹדֶשׁ:

If she was breastfeeding, she can say "I am not breastfeeding except for pay". And she can immediately claim [the money listed in] her writ [of marital obligation], even though she may not [re]marry within twenty-four months.

Se’if 3ג׳

כָּל מְלָאכוֹת שֶׁהָאִשָּׁה עוֹשָׂה לְבַעֲלָהּ אַלְמָנָה עוֹשָׂה לַיּוֹרְשִׁים, חוּץ מִמְּזִיגַת הַכּוֹס וְהַצָּעַת הַמִּטָּה וְהַרְחָצַת פָּנִים יָדַיִם וְרַגְלַיִם:

A widow does for the heirs all labors that a wife does for her husband except mixing the cup, making the bed, and washing face, hands, and feet.
