Is it permissible for me to leave my mother and her adult sisters in the market?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. If I take my mother to the market with some of her adult sisters and leave them there without going down with them, but rather I make an appointment with them for a specific time and then return to them, knowing that the market has many women in it. The question is: Is there anything required of me in this?

Answer:
If the market is decent and contains no harm, then you owe nothing. However, if the market is a market of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) and a market of evil, do not take your women to it, for you would be the one committing the sin. Markets differ; those that have no fitnah and no shirk (associating partners with Allah) are fine. As for the markets that are known for fitnah, known for flirtatious glances, known for bad appearances, and known for free mixing of men and women, do not go to them, and do not take your women to them. Do not obey your women if they say, "Take us to it." Do not obey them. Yes.
