The Ruling on a Woman in 'Iddah Going Out at Night to Visit Her Parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a woman in 'iddah going out at night to visit?
The Shaykh:
"Muḥāḍah" (hostility) is not appropriate, may Allah protect us from it. They do not show hostility to Allah and His Messenger; that is not appropriate. It is called "muḥḍah" (a woman in 'iddah). Yes.
The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on a woman in 'iddah going out at night to visit her father and mother, who cannot come to the house except with great difficulty?
The Shaykh:
She does not go out at night during the 'iddah, but only during the day. If she wants to visit her parents, she visits them during the day, but not at night, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the woman in 'iddah to stay in her house at night.
