Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Umm Muhammad from Riyadh asks: If a wife leaves her home without her husband's permission, but to a place that Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) are pleased with, and her husband is pleased with it, but he became angry that one time, what is the ruling? Is she cursed?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to leave her husband's home except with his permission. It is not permissible for her husband to prevent her from going out to pray in the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not prevent the female servant your women from visiting the mosques of Allah.لا تمنعوا إماء الله مساجد الله
Sunan Abi Dawud 566
and their homes are better for them. In any case, obedience to the husband is obligatory. If he becomes angry when she goes out, she should not go out. However, if there is no valid excuse for him to rely on, he should not prevent her. But if there is an excuse for her to remain in the home, such as fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) for her, or if she has children who need care at home, then it is not permissible for her to go out. It becomes more emphasized for her to remain in the home in obedience to her husband and in fulfilling her duty in the home. Yes.
