Is it obligatory for a wife to seek her husband's permission when going out to perform the obligatory prayer in the mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it obligatory for a woman to seek her husband's permission to go to the mosque for the obligatory prayer?

Answer:
Yes. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not prevent the women of Allah from the mosques." This means that if she seeks his permission, she does not go out except with his permission. But if she seeks his permission, he must not prevent her. However, she should go out without adornment, without perfume, and covered. He said, "Let them go out in a state of disarray." "In a state of disarray" means not adorned, not perfumed, and not exposing their charms. She goes out for worship, not to display herself and her charms. She only goes out for worship and to pray. Yes.
