The Ex-Wife's Permission to Go Out
My sister got divorced and wants to know what is required of her during the waiting period (iddah) and whether she needs to seek permission from her ex-husband to leave the house and similar matters.
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The woman in the waiting period of revocable divorce remains his wife, while the woman in the waiting period of irrevocable divorce has exited the marriage. Neither of them is allowed to leave except for necessity, and God knows best.
