" عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: طُلِّقتْ خَالَتِى، فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَجُدَّ نَخْلَهَا (*)، فَزَجَرهَا رجُلٌ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ، فَأَتَتِ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: بَلْ جُدِّى نَخْلَكِ فَإِنَّكَ عَسَى أنْ تَصَدَّقِينَ أَوْ تَفْعَلِينَ مَعْرُوفًا ".

My maternal aunt was divorced, and she intended to pluck her dates. A person scolded her for having come out (during the period of 'Idda). She came to Allah's Prophet (may peace be upon him.) and he said: Certainly you can pluck (dates) from your palm trees, for perhaps you may give charity or do an act of kindness.
أَنْ تَخْرُجَ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَلَى فَجُدِّي نَخْلَكِ فَإِنَّكِ عَسَى أَنْ تَصَدَّقِي أَوْ تَفْعَلِي مَعْرُوفًا
"My maternal aunt was divorced, and she wanted to collect the harvest from her date-palm trees. A man rebuked her for going out to the trees. She went to the Prophet ﷺ, who said: 'No, go and collect the harvest from your trees, for perhaps you will give some in charity or do a good deed with it.'"
أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ بَلَى فَجُدِّي نَخْلَكِ فَإِنَّكِ عَسَى أَنْ تَصَدَّقِي أَوْ تَفْعَلِي مَعْرُوفًا
