Question: Me and my wife go out to the market to buy necessary items for her or the house, and she comes out with me completely covered, and all praise is due to Allaah (alone), and she does not speak to any of the traders (shop owners and assistants). So is there any sin in her coming out (like this) or not? (Please) advise me.
Response: There is no harm in a woman going out to buy necessary items from the market if she has no-one who is able to do this on her behalf, so long as she is completely covered and remains away from mixing with the men and unnecessarily talking to them. And if she has a man from amongst her mahrams with her, then that is more complete and better.
However, if there is someone who can buy these necessary items on her behalf, then there is no need for her to go out for that which exists therein of fitnah and danger, especially in this day and age in which fitnah has increased and humility and mutual respect has decreased - except upon those whom Allaah has shown Mercy to. So it is obligatory for a woman to remain in her home as much as she is able to, as He (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) says:
{And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance…}, Soorah al-Ahzaab, Aayah 33
Shaykh Ibn Fowzaan
al-Muntaqaa min Fataawa Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan - Volume 3, Page 294, Fatwa No.430
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. By the time! Verily mankind is at loss – except for those who believe and perform righteous deeds, and advise one another towards the truth and advise one another towards patience.’
So women should be locked up inside their homes UNLESS it's for something they need.....Never go to have a bit of leisure time [in limits] or something like that.....perhaps that's how it is in Saudi, but there is no harm if a woman covers herself and walks the streets with modesty to go somewhere nice......That should be suspected over??
All I can say is some people are shadeed to the point where there are no limits....
A woman is a human being for God's sake! Islam is the liberator of women...By keeping them locked up in their homes is no liberation.....And I KNOW islam is definately not unreasonable......
no no iqram you misunderstand. We're saying its best to be careful in these fitnah infested times. The other day i went out and some dude wanted to play wiv my ball (FOOTBALL BEFORE U GET IDEAS :anger, well i wouldnt restrict my sister from goin out if she wants to but i wud advise her to go out as less as possible and im actually 100% if i tell her the reason she wud agree.

^^ lol i don't think that's what the sis was trying to imply bro iq.. she's a sis too so i think she understands it better than we do
I dunno but isn't shopping and all that suppose to be part of teh husband's job under "fetching the rizq for the family"? The wife shouldn't be forced into doing his job as far as that's concerned...
as far as being locked away.. lol that's deffo not the point of that...

I'm so glad you put that up sis madeenahsh...lol..!
Aisha rahiyaAllahu anhu narrated "kunna nisaa yakhrujna li 7awaaijihinnna"
women used to leave their homes for their needs. muslim.
Its just really bad when some people misinterpret the ayaat and go to extreme lengths!
yes sis Al-mu'minah, what you said is what ahlul 3ilm say too...mashaAllah!!
Thanks for your lovely faaa'idah ukhtee madeenahsh!
{And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance…}, Soorah al-Ahzaab, Aayah 33
"And stay in your houses" Could have several meanings, we can't just take the Quraan word for word, there is something called 'tafseer'.
"and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance"
The women of the times of the jaahilliyyah were like magnets, they were south, and the men were north....Compare them to what our sisters wear outside these days.....Subhanallah!
Our sisters have much to be proud of, they deserve every last ounce of respect from the world.
PS watch out, we have many sexists on this forum.....
yeah alhamdulilah women are allowed to go out and not be locked in da house/ and be prisoners in der own house.... as some ppl view islam as....astagfirullah...utterly wrong....
islam def shows equality between men and women in the eyes of Allah(swt) but we have differences in roles, responsiblities, etc....
inshalah we shud protect ourselves when we go out...rather then displaying ourselves amongst the world....
All i hope is for my mums happiness.Shes my light.Shes my dunya.Her tears are my weakness.Her sadness breaks my heart.She is my mirror.A mirror that keeps me alive.Without her am nothing.shes my saaya.How can i leave her.I pray to Allah(swt) to keep me with her forever inshAllah.
yes i know, but i was referring to those who make the women stay at home regardless....and there are many that do this...
going out for pleasure and pass time is called tabarrruj....thats not allowed i'm aware of that alhamdulillah
