\n\tQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tCan a Muslim woman in iddah start dating?<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAnswer<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u0628\u0633\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u064a\u0645<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tFirstly in Islam there is no concept of dating and to do so is a sinful act which needs to be abandoned immediately.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Prophet (peace be upon Him) has stated: Behold! A man is not alone with a woman but the third of them is Ash-Shaitan.<\/span>[1]<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the explanation of the above Hadith, the scholars have stated that the woman referred to in th<\/a>e above Hadith is one to whom a man is permitted to marry (however has not married) and therefore Shaitan will also be present encouraging the two to engage in unlawful and sinful acts.<\/span>[2]<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSecondly, during the iddah the woman is confined to her place of residence and it is not permissible to leave that.<\/span>[3]<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever when there is an extreme need to do so such as leaving for work whereby that is her only source of income and she will not be able to carry on living throughout the waiting period without it, she will be permitted to attend work.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn such a case she will only be permitted to leave her house for the necessary amount of time and anything beyond that will be impermissible.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever if there is an alternative for her it will not be permissible such as her family providing her the financial support that is required.<\/span>[4]<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn conclusion: dating is haram in Islam and generally speaking it is not permissible for the woman sitting her Iddah to leave her place of residence,<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOnly Allah knows best<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
