Hadith 3580
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدٌ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : " طُلِّقَتْ خَالَتُهُ ، فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَى نَخْلٍ لَهَا فَلَقِيَتْ رَجُلًا فَنَهَاهَا ، فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " اخْرُجِي ، فَجُدِّي نَخْلَكِ لَعَلَّكِ أَنْ تَصَدَّقِي وَتَفْعَلِي مَعْرُوفًا " .
´It was narrated from Jabir that his maternal aunt was divorced, and she wanted to go out to some date palms of hers, but she met a man who told her not to do that. She went to the Messenger of Allah and he said:` "Go out and take the harvest of your date palms, for perhaps you will give Zakah or do some good (give voluntary charity)."

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
If there is a need, a woman in mourning (iddah) may work in the house and in the fields. It is possible that there may be no one else to do the work. The Shari‘ah takes great consideration of people’s needs and necessities.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
If a necessity arises for which it is essential for a woman to leave the house, then even during her waiting period (‘iddah), she may go out.
➋
If Jabir’s (radi Allahu anhu) aunt had not arranged for the fruit of the orchard to be harvested, the fruit would have been wasted. Therefore, in order to prevent the crop from being ruined, she had to leave the house.
➌
Some scholars have interpreted the righteous deed here as the payment of obligatory zakat, meaning: when the fruit comes home, you will give zakat and give charity, by which you will receive reward and the poor will benefit. Also, the remaining dates will suffice for you for the whole year. Therefore, this is a reasonable cause for leaving the house.
➍
One should not go out for minor tasks, because such tasks are not of such necessity that would justify leaving the house.
