Woman applying oil to her hair during iddat

Q: Can a woman who has a habit of regularly applying coconut oil in her hair apply oil during her iddat period?

A: If she applies the oil as a treatment, it will be permissible. If she is not applying it as a treatment, it will not be permissible during iddat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
