The answer

It is permissible for a woman to drive a car and go out with her friends for recreation, provided that no religiously prohibited act results from it, and on condition that her husband gives permission and no religious right is neglected. It is permissible for the husband to prevent his wife from some permissible activities if he sees a considerable benefit, and obedience to him is obligatory. The fundamental principle is that a woman remains in her home and does not go out excessively.
