The ruling on the residence and maintenance of a divorced woman during the waiting period

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. A woman asks: Is a divorced woman required to remain in the marital home until her waiting period ends?

Answer:
If the divorce is revocable, it is obligatory for her husband to provide her with residence and maintenance, because she is still his wife until she exits the waiting period, until she exits the waiting period.
Do not turn them out of their [husbands'] houses, nor should they [themselves] leave [during that period] unless they are committing a clear immoralityلَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِن بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَّا أَن يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍ
[At-Talaq 65:1]
This applies to the revocable divorce. As for the irrevocable divorce, the husband has the choice: if he wishes, he can provide her with residence and maintenance, and if he wishes, he does not; he does not provide her with residence or maintenance. She has no obligatory maintenance or obligatory residence from her divorcer if the divorce is irrevocable.
