Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener from the Jizan region (H. A. H. Muhammad) sent a message containing some questions. In one of them, he says: A woman leaves without her husband's permission to go to her relatives, or to a place where there is a women's gathering. Does she sin? And if her husband argues with her, she says: "I was doing an obligation." Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
She has no right to go out except with her husband's permission. It is forbidden for her to go out except with her husband's permission, even if it is to attend a condolence for the family of a deceased person, or to visit a sick person, or to go to her relatives. She has no right to go out except with his permission. She must obey him and be dutiful to him... She must obey him and be dutiful to her husband except in disobedience to Allah. As for what is good, she must obey him and be dutiful to him. She has no right to go out except with his permission, whether it is to her relatives or to others.
And the husband must consider her rights, be gentle with her, and treat her with kindness. He should give her permission to go out in a suitable manner that contains no evil and does not assist in evil, as part of treating her with kindness and bringing the family together. Therefore, he should not be harsh. It is not permissible for her to disobey him in what is good. However, if he orders her to commit a sin, then no, she has no right to obey him in that.
If he orders her to insult her parents, or to drink intoxicants, or to leave the prayer, it is not permissible for her to obey him in that. It is forbidden for her to obey him in that; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says:Sunan Abi Dawud 2625Sahih (Al-Albani) And he (peace and blessings be upon him) says: Mishkat al-Masabih 3696.
But if he orders her regarding something permissible, such as not going out to the neighbors, or not going to her relatives, or not preparing a specific food, or other things that Allah has made permissible, then she has no right to disobey him. Rather, she must obey him and be dutiful to him. Yes...

إنما الطاعة في المعروفA creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”
لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالقBut if he orders her regarding something permissible, such as not going out to the neighbors, or not going to her relatives, or not preparing a specific food, or other things that Allah has made permissible, then she has no right to disobey him. Rather, she must obey him and be dutiful to him. Yes...
