Ruling on a woman in the waiting period leaving her home for other than a dire necessity

Question:
The questioner (A. A. H.) from Riyadh says: What is the ruling on a woman in the waiting period leaving her home at night or during the day if there is an occasion for gathering relatives, such as the days of the festivals or wedding occasions? And what is the ruling on this woman meeting men? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is obligatory for her to remain in the house until she completes the waiting period, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the widow: She should not go out for occasions or to visit people; this is what is obligatory for her. Then, going out to people leads to her using adornment and perfume, and this is forbidden. She is prohibited from using perfume and adornment, so she should wear ordinary clothes that contain no adornment, and she should avoid perfume, jewelry, kohl, and henna. So, going out for occasions and weddings leads to jewelry and perfume.
The point is: she has no right to go out except for a pressing need, such as going out for her needs from the market, fulfilling a need from the market... a loaf of bread from the market... a need from the market... going to the hospital when necessary... going to the court when necessary, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
