Hadith.4757 - Abu Jafar Imam Al-Baqir (as) said: "If I were to govern the people, I would teach them the correct way to divorce and how it should be carried out."

If she wishes to visit someone, she may go out before midnight and return after midnight. She should not go out during the day, and she is not permitted to perform Hajj until her waiting period is complete."

4759 - : وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: ۝ وَ اِتَّقُوا اَللّٰهَ رَبَّكُمْ لاٰ تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَ لاٰ يَخْرُجْنَ إِلاّٰ أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفٰاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ ۝ قَالَ "إِلاَّ أَنْ تَزْنِيَ فَتُخْرَجَ وَ يُقَامَ عَلَيْهَا اَلْحَدُّ".

Imam (as) replied: "Except if she commits adultery, then she is to be expelled, and the prescribed punishment (ḥadd) is to be carried out upon her."

4760 - وَ كَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارُ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي اِمْرَأَةٍ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ لَمْ يُجْرِ عَلَيْهَا اَلنَّفَقَةَ لِلْعِدَّةِ وَ هِيَ مُحْتَاجَةٌ هَلْ يَجُوزُ لَهَا أَنْ تَخْرُجَ وَ تَبِيتَ عَنْ مَنْزِلِهَا لِلْعَمَلِ وَ اَلْحَاجَةِ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "لاَ بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ إِذَا عَلِمَ اَللَّهُ اَلصِّحَّةَ مِنْهَا".

Imam (as) replied in writing: "There is no harm in that if Allah knows her intention is sincere."

Would that constitute a divorce or emancipation?" Imam (as) replied: "There is no divorce nor emancipation until it is spoken by the tongue or written by his own hand with the intention of divorce or emancipation. It must also be done with proper witnessing and at the right time while he is absent from his family."
