If a Muslim man sends a message


397

Q 3: Is it permissible for women to go to markets? It is worthy to mention that markets in Egypt involve excessive intermixing of men and women, are crowded, and there is a lot of obscene swearing.


A: If a woman is supported by a man or if he can do shopping for her, she is not permitted to go to these markets. Otherwise, she is conceded to do so for the necessity of obtaining her needs. However, she should be cautious of things that Allah (Exalted be He) prohibits. (Part No. 12; Page No. 380) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
