Question:

Answer:
A woman who is sound in her religion and her honor is one who is sound in her religion and her acts of worship: she establishes the prayer, fasts Ramadan, worships Allah, and does not associate anything with Him. She is sound in her honor, chaste from zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), and does not act loosely in her dealings with men. This is soundness in religion. Yes.
