Is it permissible to prevent one's wife from going to a Qur'an memorization center on the grounds that she exploits the visits for shopping, does not practically benefit, is a severer of kinship ties, is arrogant, and has a child?
A husband has the right to prevent his wife from going out for non-essential matters, such as Quran study circles. However, it is preferable for him to allow her to complete the memorization of the Quran if she benefits from it and if her going out does not lead to any corruption. If she goes out with the aim of shopping from her female colleagues, there is no harm in that. However, if she goes to the market under the pretext of visiting the center, and if this is rare, there is no objection. But if it becomes frequent, she should be warned first and then prevented. She must be prevented from going out if it will lead to a religiously forbidden act. A husband does not have the right to prevent her from going out for necessities. Preventing her from going to the center is not a solution for her boycotting her family or for arrogance; rather, that requires reform from him and from the family.
