Chapter on Divorce According to the Sunnah

وَ سَأَلَ سَمَاعَةُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلْمُطَلَّقَةِ أَيْنَ تَعْتَدُّ قَالَ "فِي بَيْتِهَا لاَ تَخْرُجُ فَإِنْ أَرَادَتْ زِيَارَةً خَرَجَتْ قَبْلَ نِصْفِ اَللَّيْلِ وَ رَجَعَتْ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اَللَّيْلِ وَ لاَ تَخْرُجُ نَهَاراً وَ لَيْسَ لَهَا أَنْ تَحُجَّ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ عِدَّتُهَا".
Samaʿah asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام about where a divorced woman should observe her waiting period (ʿiddah). Imam عليه السلام replied: "In her house; she should not leave. If she wishes to visit someone, she may go out before midnight and return after midnight. She should not go out during the day, and she is not permitted to perform Hajj until her waiting period is complete."
