If a man divorces his wife with a revocable divorce (ṭalāq bā’in) in exchange for her waiving her rights, then she may go out during the day for her needs, such as memorizing the Qur’an at the mosque, and she is not required to seek permission from her ex-husband. As for the wife divorced with a revocable divorce (ṭalāq raj‘ī), she must seek her husband’s permission to go out. Both spouses are advised to exercise wisdom and deliberation during disagreements to avoid divorce unless absolutely necessary. It is not permissible for a woman to go to her family's house merely due to a disagreement with her husband.
