The Ruling on a Divorced Woman Leaving During Her Waiting Period

Question
Is it permissible for a divorced woman to leave her house during her waiting period, or must she remain at home like a woman whose husband has passed away?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible for the divorced woman and the widow to go out except for necessity, and God knows best.
