The Exit of a Woman in Iddah from Her Family's House

Question
My daughter got divorced a while ago, the first divorce in court, and she is now in her family's house. Is it prohibited for her to leave the house? Or is it just that she cannot get married?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The divorced woman must observe the waiting period in her husband's house; as she does not incur any harm, and now she is in her family's house, so she must observe her waiting period there, and she should not go out or adorn herself, and God knows best.
