Do the rulings concerning the waiting period of a woman whose husband has died apply to the waiting period of a divorced woman?

Question:
May Allah reward you. This person asks: Does a divorced woman have the same ruling as a woman whose husband has died regarding going out during the waiting period?

Answer:
No, she is not like the one whose husband died. She may go out, but with covering herself and without adorning herself during the waiting period until it ends. She is a woman divorced with a final divorce; she is not to be proposed to explicitly.
Therefore, it is not permissible to propose to her explicitly; it is only permissible to hint at her without being explicit. This is what is required of the woman in the waiting period who has been divorced with a final divorce: she must observe the waiting period through three menstrual cycles if she is one who menstruates, or through three months if she does not menstruate. During the waiting period, she must guard herself, and it is not permissible to propose to her explicitly until she completes her waiting period. As for the woman divorced with a revocable divorce, she is still a wife who remains under the protection of her husband. It is not permissible for anyone to hint at her because she is still under the protection of her husband and is still his wife. Yes.
