💡 Fatāwā Series: A Woman Leaving Her Home for Lessons, Fresh Air, or Shopping 💡 — Answered by the Virtuous Shaykh, Fayṣal al-Ḥāshidī -حفظه الله ورعاه- 💫 Question: “السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته How often is a woman permitted to leave her home? Is it permissible for her to leave her home every day for Islamic lessons for a few hours (e.g., 4-5 hours) and then come back while also taking care of her household responsibilities? Also, is it permissible for a woman to go out for fresh air or to do something she enjoys once in a while? Is it permissible for her to go out with her friends or go shopping? Is this considered a necessity, especially if she does not leave the home much already? What is your advice? جزاكم الله خيرا” 🎇 Answer: “وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته Obeying her husband and fulfilling her responsibilities towards the household and children is more obligatory, while leaving the house to attend lessons is recommended. It is permissible for her to leave the house to attend Islamic lessons daily for a few hours if she obtains her husband’s permission, provided it does not conflict with her obligatory duties at home. As for going out for fresh air, doing something she enjoys, or going shopping, these are permissible as long as there is safety, and she goes out as much as needed without excess. Spending time with friends or shopping is not inherently a necessity, but occasional outings for permissible reasons are allowed as long as they do not lead to neglect of her primary obligations.” ✅ Source: https://t.me/faysalalhashidi/14 💡 Translation: Abū Yaʿqūb ʿAbdullāh Az-Zaylaʿī -غفر الله له- •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ✅ https://t.me/faysalalhashidi
