Wife going out for some errands while observing decency


489

Q 1: What is the ruling on a woman going to the market to meet her needs? There is nobody to do this task except her husband who does not know the needs of the house and the wife. It is noteworthy that the woman wears complete Hijab (veil) and lowers her voice when she goes out. What is the ruling on women going out without their husband's consent?


A: If the reality is as you have mentioned, that she goes out after asking her husband's permission to meet the necessary needs and there is nobody else to do so, there is nothing wrong with it. However, all goodness lies in staying at home and not going out frequently except in cases of necessity. (Part No. 19; Page No. 371) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
