The questioner:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a woman to go out with her husband to the markets on a near-daily basis, while fully adhering to the prescribed Islamic dress, for the purpose of shopping or for the recreation of the wife and the children?
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible?
The questioner:
A woman going out with her husband to the markets on a near-daily basis, while fully adhering to the prescribed Islamic dress, for the purpose of shopping or for the recreation of the wife and the children, and does this conflict?
The Shaykh:
Recreation is not what one goes out for, because one may encounter bad sights or come across evil among the women and not forbid it. But if he goes out for a need, he and his wife take what they need and return, with the woman being covered, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
