A woman going to the mosque without her husband's permission

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to go to the mosque without her husband's permission?

The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible for her to go to the mosque without her husband's permission. Because this is a right he has, and it is not obligatory for her, while obedience to her husband is obligatory. Yes.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.

The Shaykh:
In fact, the recommended practice is that she does not go out to the mosque. It is permissible for her to go out to the mosque for prayer, but the recommended practice is that she stays in her house, even if her husband does not prevent her. The Messenger (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 houses are better for them, better for them than praying in the mosques. Yes.
