Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: What is the ruling on a husband preventing his wife from things that are permissible for her, such as clothing or other matters, under the pretext of blocking the means to harm, as he claims?
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to prevent his wife from what Allah has made permissible for her; it is not permissible for him to do so. This is injustice. He may prevent her from what is not permissible, such as tabarruj (a woman's display of her adornment) or exposing herself; he may prevent her from that. But as for what Allah has made permissible for her, he has no right to restrict her or make things difficult for her. Yes.
