The 'iddah woman going out to work or the hospital

Question:
Another question from this questioner. He says: What is the ruling on a woman in 'iddah going out to perform her job, such as teaching or nursing, or visiting the hospital for appointments to check on her medical health?

Answer:
Her visiting the hospital is permissible; because this is a need, a need she requires, so there is no harm in her going out for her need during the day, not at night. She goes out during the day. As for her going out to work, if she needs the work, she needs the salary to spend on herself or her children, then there is no harm in that, because this is a need. In fact, it may be a dire necessity. She goes out to the extent of the need, then returns to her house. It is known as a regulation, as I understand, that there is a regulation granting a woman whose husband has died a leave. They give her leave for the 'iddah, so she should claim it. Yes.
