Hi,

The applicant is on 5 years standard spouse visa, received ILR last week and now submitting application for naturalization. Can they travel for 4-6 weeks (outside the UK) after submitting their naturalization application using their ILR BRP card.

TIA.

One can travel when they're waiting for naturalization application. It's not an immigration application, travel is permitted.

As above advice, note that your pending application doesn't change your UK ILR status, until you are actually British, after attending the ceremony.
