If a woman is in her waiting period () after a divorce, she is not permitted to travel or leave the house at night except out of necessity, and during the day except out of need. If the divorce is revocable (raj'i), she must remain in her husband's house until her waiting period ends, and she is not permitted to leave it or travel. If the divorce is irrevocable (ba'in), the majority of scholars hold that the waiting period must be observed in the marital home, while the Hanbalis, in one narration, are of the view that she may observe her waiting period wherever she wishes within her city, in a safe place.
