Question
A 60-year-old divorced woman is in her waiting period (iddah). Is it permissible for her to leave the house and walk in the street because the doctor asked her to walk?
Answer
Answer: I say, and with God's guidance: It is not permissible to leave the house for walking; because it is not a necessity, and God knows best.
