Question

A woman divorced through the court has had one menstrual cycle pass during her waiting period, but she has been going out based on information she received from some scholars through videos circulating on social media. She also asked the one who issued the fatwa allowing her to go out, claiming that there is nothing in the prophetic hadiths that prohibits this. Does she incur a sin for going out, or is she required to make expiation, or should she adhere to the remainder of her waiting period?

Answer

I say, and with God's help: She should not go out except for necessity, and she must adhere to the rules of the waiting period for what remains. We ask God Almighty to forgive her for what has passed, and God knows best.
