A woman in her ' (waiting period) following divorce or death of her husband is not permitted to travel except out of necessity. There is no objection to a divorced woman traveling after the expiration of her 'iddah, provided she has a male companion and that the mahram is an adult. The ruling on a custodial mother traveling with her children away from their father's place of residence differs based on whether it is a journey for relocation or a visit.
