What should a woman do after her waiting period (iddah) ends, and must she leave her house?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A woman is not required to stay in the home of her ' (waiting period) after its completion, nor is she required to leave it because her 'iddah has ended. She is like other women who are commanded to remain in their homes, though they are permitted to go out for a necessity.
