A woman who has been given a revocable divorce must observe her iddah (waiting period) in her husband's house as an obligation. She is not permitted to leave it except out of necessity, provided she returns to sleep there. She is also not permitted to travel for Hajj, whether it is an obligatory Hajj or a supererogatory one. As for the return (reconciliation), it can be effected by word or deed.
