May a woman observing the Iddah of an irrevocable divorce (Bain) leave for Hajj?
General Chapter
Al-Mughni
Book of Hajj
Primary text
A woman observing the Iddah of an irrevocable divorce is permitted to leave for Hajj. This is because the requirement of remaining confined to the home is not obligatory in the Iddah of an irrevocable divorce, unlike the Iddah of bereavement, and Hajj must be performed immediately when due or it will be missed.
