What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding a wife remaining in the home after she has been irrevocably divorced (with three pronouncements)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a wife is irrevocably divorced (major [triple] repudiation), or her waiting period (iddah) has ended, it is not permissible for her to live with the husband in the same house, due to the incitement to forbidden mixing that this entails. In such matters, it is advisable to refer the issue to the Sharia courts for a ruling.
