A woman who has been given a revocable divorce (talaq raj'i) must remain in the marital home. It is impermissible for her to leave it except out of necessity, and her husband is not allowed to expel her. If he expels her, the husband incurs sin. It is not permissible for a woman observing her 'iddah (waiting period) to go out to visit her siblings unless she feels lonely and goes out for companionship during the day, in which case there is no harm in that. It is advised to be cautious about divorce and to strive for reconciliation and reunification, especially when there are children involved.
