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.’
Indeed some Ayaats in the Quran directly adress the Mothers of the Believes. But who are the mothers of the believers? Are they not the best of women? most pious? our role Models? Are they not the women's whom
"When (the Verse): 'They should draw their veils over their necks and bosoms,' was revealed,cut their waist sheets at the edges and covered their faces with the cut pieces." ?
and a another hadiths states
When the verse "That they should cast their outer garments over their persons" was revealed, the women of Ansar came out as if they had crows over their heads by wearing outer garments.
They are our role models! And they are the best of role models! And when some people say such and such Ayaats are revealed to only the wives of the Prophet and not you....I am a bit anxious...
Indeed it is adressed to them but it also applies to our lives....from our dress to our character. Every woman should live up to the role of the sahabiyats!
I agree. So as the fatawa of sheikh Fawzan in the first post in this thread, so women is ok to go out shopping as long as they stay away from fitnah, and if they have someone then its better ask them to buy something for you.
And if you dont have someone then you may go out shopping as long its necessary and theres no other way except it. But its best take somebody with you, and the best take mahram with you, at least friends, of course the good one.
And even if we ask syaikh Ash Shuraim, Im sure he will say something that wont contradict ulama who is more kabeer than him such as syaikh Bin Bazz, syaikh Fawzan, etc. Cause I know syaikh Shuraim is more more shadeed in his understanding (he is salafy alhamdulillah) than another sheikh in masjidil haram. Thats what I know alhamdulillah. But all those syaikh such as syaikh As Sudais are salafy too alhamdulillah. I ever met him in Hilton hotel in jakarta when he visited Indonesia alhamdulillah.
So girls, better take the savest ways, DONT go out of your house (in this century of fitnah) if its not necessary. If you have to go somewhere then do it in the savest way too Take mahram, take the taxi, ask someone to buy something for you, but the best stay at home everyday and doing something manfaat, reading hadith and Quran, educate your family and neighbours. If you can educate your self well then youre the mujahidah whose Islam laying on you on the way you educate your children in the future. Insha Allah.
Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny? Woe unto the repudiators on that day!

we dont need to ask him, hes already used the ayah 33:33 to prove women should stay at home in his khutbah *save the women* as has the other imams when referring to women going out in the west.
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
