Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A husband who prevents his wife from trading that requires her to speak with non-mahram men, is he wrong in preventing her? Yes. He says: A husband who prevents his wife from trading that requires her to speak with non-mahram men, is his prevention of her an error?
Answer:
A woman’s trading and her going out to the market is not done except with two conditions. The first condition is that she does the work of the house and no work is left undone in the house, because the work of the house is her work, so no work is left undone in the house for her to go out and leave it. This is the first. The second is that obedience to the husband is necessary; she does not go out except with his permission, and she does not leave her house except with his permission. If these two conditions are met, it is permissible for her to go out and to sell and buy. As for speaking with men, it is for the need: asking about knowledge, asking about an issue, asking about a need, with no suspicion, no submission in speech, and none of what they call flirting and the words of those who pursue desires. It is ordinary speech for the sake of the need. Yes.
