Matters a woman in the waiting period must observe
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is permissible for a woman in the waiting period after her husband has died? Can she leave her house to attend to her needs and her affairs, such as visiting relatives? Is she able to go out at night, or only during the day?
Answer:
A woman in the waiting period must observe five matters:
The first matter: she must remain in her house until her waiting period ends; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded the woman to do so. However, she may go out for her needs, such as buying something from the market, food or other items from the market, or going to the hospital for treatment, or to the court for a dispute. There is nothing wrong with that. Likewise, her going out because she is a teacher, or a student, is permissible, or a manager, but while observing the other four matters.
The second one.: Not wearing beautiful clothes, but ordinary clothes.
The third.: Not using perfume.
The fourth: Not wearing jewelry, neither gold, nor silver, nor a diamond bracelet, or anything else.
The fifth: Not applying kohl or henna. If she observes these matters, she may go out for her needs, such as teaching, or seeking knowledge, or a dispute, or treatment, or the like. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
