Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman asks her husband for permission to attend a lecture in the mosque, and not for the purpose of prayer, is it permissible for him to prevent her, or is it the same as her asking permission for prayer?
Answer:
That is, it is recommended that he not prevent her if there is a benefit in her attending, such as hearing the lecture and benefiting from it, and there is no harm. He should not prevent her; it is better that he not prevent her.
