Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman sent this question to the program, saying: My mother had a few days left of her 'iddah, then she had a dire necessity to go to the hospital, so she went. Then the situation required her to stay in the hospital for the remaining days. What is the ruling?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that if she needs to visit the hospital or if she is afflicted with an illness that requires her to go to the hospital. There is nothing wrong with that because this is going out for a pressing need. Also, if the situation requires her to stay in the hospital and be treated there, there is nothing wrong with that. Even if her 'iddah ends while she is in the hospital, because she is excused by this. Yes.
