Travelling while in iddat
Q: I’m on iddah at present and have been keeping to the confinement of my home as per the rules of Islam.

She is seeing a therapist at present.
My brother is going away for the weekend and suggested that I join him with my daughter going to the destination and staying in the room whilst he does activity with her.
