The answer

It is better for a man to go to the market than for a woman, because the basic principle for a woman is to remain in her home unless there is a necessity or a need. She should not leave her home—even for a good deed—without her husband's permission. The conditions for her permissible departure are: that she does not leave except with her husband's permission, that her departure does not lead to neglecting what Allah has entrusted her with, and that she leaves with full modesty, observing the manners of the market.
