Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah has sent you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a wife to leave the house without his permission?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to leave the house except with his permission, because this is his right over her,
Men are in charge of womenالرِّجَالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ
[An-Nisa 4:34]
, and seeking his permission does not burden her with anything; she asks for permission, praise be to Allah.
