An 'iddah-observing woman is permitted to leave her home during the day for a necessity. However, attending her daughter's graduation ceremony is not considered a recognized necessity. Some scholars are of the opinion that an 'iddah-observing woman is permitted to leave her home during the day without being restricted by necessity; according to this view, she is allowed to leave to attend the ceremony.
