Rules of the Waiting Period for the Divorced Woman
What do we mean by the divorced woman not leaving the house during the waiting period? When does she observe her waiting period in her home, and when can she leave it? What are the general rules of the waiting period according to the type of divorce?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The original ruling for a woman in her waiting period is that she should not leave her house except for necessity if she cannot find someone to fulfill her needs, or if she does not have money and needs to go out to work, for example. She must refrain from adornment even in her house, and God knows best.
