Guidance on Women Going Out to the Markets in Ramadan

The questioner : The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, in Ramadan, especially in its last ten days, women go out to the markets in large numbers. Is there any guidance on this matter? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : Yes, there is guidance for us, and indeed, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) gave guidance. The Prophet said:
If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) directed the woman to stay in her home and not go out to the mosque, what do you say about the one who goes out to the markets without need? He also informed that the one who applies perfume and goes out to the market is such and such, meaning a fornicator, may Allah protect us from that. This is a great warning against a woman going out while wearing perfume. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that if a woman wants to go out to the mosque, she should do so in clothes that do not attract attention, ordinary clothes that do not attract attention. Then, when the woman goes out to the markets while men are spread out in them, the Muslims are standing up to pray the late-night prayer for Allah, while these people are roaming in the markets, and perhaps fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) will occur.
Such as whispering, touching, giving a phone number, or the like. We ask Allah for safety in this noble month. So I warn women against going out on the nights of Ramadan unless necessity calls for it; if she must go out, let her go with her mahram (a relative one may not marry).
