Is it permissible for a woman to enter the market without a mahram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a woman to enter the market without a mahram?

Answer:
The mahram is required for travel. As for within the city, she does not need a mahram, provided she is modest, wears the hijab, does not mix with men, and goes to the market for a need. In such a case, she does not need a mahram; the mahram is for travel.
