Is it permissible for a divorced woman to observe her 'iddah in her children's home with the husband's permission, and is she entitled to a consolatory gift (nafaqat al-mut'ah) in this case?

The original ruling is that a divorced woman should observe her 'iddah (waiting period) in the marital home. However, if the husband permits her to observe it in another home, there is no harm in that. As for the mut'ah (consolation gift), it is not obligatory in this situation according to the majority of scholars.
