3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama‘ah ibn Mehran who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) , about the case of a woman who is divorced and about where she must complete her waiting period. He (the Imam) said, ‘She completes her waiting period in her house and must not go out. If she wants to visit she must go after midnight but not during the day. She does not have the right to perform al-Hajj until her waiting period is complete.’ I asked about one whose husband dies; if her case is the same. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, it is the same but she can perform al-Hajj if she wants.’”
