The Ruling on a Woman Going Out in Her Full Adornment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The question: And the fourth question in the letter of the brother, the student of knowledge, says: And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . If this hadith is authentic, what is the ruling on women who go out to the markets, to celebrations, and to wedding nights in their full adornment, knowing that they mix with women only in the celebrations, whereas in the markets they may mix with men, such as shop owners? Please inform us, may Allah reward you?
The answer: I do not know this hadith with this wording:. We do not know this hadith with this wording, but its meaning is generally correct if she does not cover herself and does not veil herself. And Allah, (Exalted and Majestic is He), says in His great Book: [Al-Ahzab: 33]. So if she goes out in her adornment, displaying her adornment to the people, to the men, from the neck, face, hair, necklaces, and the like, or by being coy and seductive in her speech with men, this is a great danger. But if she goes out with her adornment for celebrations, or to visit her relatives or others whom it is permissible to visit, with covering and hijab, and keeping away from displaying her adornment to men and causing fitnah, then there is no blame on her. And this wording came only in relation to a wife angering her husband. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Thus came the authentic hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih al-Bukhari 3237. And in the other wording: Sahih Muslim 1436c.
So it is obligatory for the woman to beware of angering her husband and to listen and obey him in what is right, so that the angels do not curse her, and so that Allah does not become angry with her, nor His angels. But if her angering him is in the truth, by his ordering her to disobey Allah, and she refuses him and he becomes angry, then he has no right in this, and she has done nothing wrong in it; rather, she is rewarded. If he says to her, for example: "Uncover yourself for my brother, or for your sister's husband, or for the relatives from your paternal uncles or maternal uncles," then she has no obedience to him in this; because this is disobedience. Or if he says to her: "Drink intoxicants" or "Smoke," this is what is wrong, and she has no obedience to him in that, or similar sins. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says:Sunan Abi Dawud 2625Sahih (Al-Albani), Mishkat al-Masabih 3696. And success is from Allah.

Whichever woman goes out in her adornment, the angels curse her until she returns
أيما امرأة خرجت بزينتها لعنتها الملائكة حتى ترجعThe answer: I do not know this hadith with this wording:
Whichever woman goes out in her adornment, the angels curse her until she returns
أيما امرأة خرجت بزينتها لعنتها الملائكة حتى ترجعAnd abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance
وَقَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَلا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ الأُولَىWhichever woman spends the night and her husband is angry with her, the angels curse her until morning
أيما امرأة باتت وزوجها عليها غضبان لعنتها الملائكة حتى تصبحIf a husband calls his wife to his bed (i.e. to have sexual relation) and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning.
أيما امرأة باتت وزوجها غضبان عليها لعنتها الملائكة حتى تصبحthe One Who is in the heaven is displeased with her until he (her husband) is pleased with her
كان الذي في السماء ساخطاً عليها حتى يرضى عنهاSo it is obligatory for the woman to beware of angering her husband and to listen and obey him in what is right, so that the angels do not curse her, and so that Allah does not become angry with her, nor His angels. But if her angering him is in the truth, by his ordering her to disobey Allah, and she refuses him and he becomes angry, then he has no right in this, and she has done nothing wrong in it; rather, she is rewarded. If he says to her, for example: "Uncover yourself for my brother, or for your sister's husband, or for the relatives from your paternal uncles or maternal uncles," then she has no obedience to him in this; because this is disobedience. Or if he says to her: "Drink intoxicants" or "Smoke," this is what is wrong, and she has no obedience to him in that, or similar sins. So the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says:
Obedience is in matters which are good and universally recognized.
إنما الطاعة في المعروفA creature is not to be obeyed when it involves disobedience to the "Creator.”
لا طاعة لمخلوق في معصية الخالقThe presenter: May Allah reward you.
