Going out to work during iddat
Question
If a working lady got divorced or her husband died, can she continue her job without doing iddat to financially support herself?
Answer
If there is no person to see to the expenses of the house and she is forced to work then she should leave in a very unattractive way and return as soon as her work has ended.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
