The woman in 'iddah leaving her home

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Yusuf, says: If a woman in 'iddah finds it somewhat difficult to remain in her home for the duration of the waiting period, is she permitted to leave the house to relax in the open, or to go on an outing with her family, and then return to her home?

Answer:
She may go out to visit her neighbors and relatives, or go to the hospital for a check-up if she needs to see a doctor. She is permitted to do so, and this should be during the day. The woman in 'iddah goes out for her needs specifically during the day. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
