The answer

If the divorce is irrevocable (three divorces, or for a financial consideration, or by a judge's ruling), then it is permissible for the divorced woman to observe her iddah (waiting period) in her family's home, according to some scholars. However, if the divorce is revocable, then it is obligatory for the wife to remain in the husband's home until her iddah expires, and it is not permissible to expel her, as Allah Almighty says: "Do not expel them from their homes, nor should they leave" (Surat Al-Talaq: 1), even if the husband gives permission, because that is a right of Allah Almighty.
