Woman working during iddat
Question
Can a woman work during her iddat following a divorce?
Answer
During iddat, it is not permissible for a woman to leave the home. If a woman is divorced, it is the husband's duty to provide maintenance for his divorced wife during her iddat period.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
