Is a husband permitted to prevent his wife from going out with irreligious friends who go out in the evening to public cafes and restaurants, fearing their negative influence on her?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A husband must prevent his wife from corruption and the pretexts of sins and temptations, in accordance with the Almighty’s saying: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire." This includes associating with sinful people or being present in places of evil, because that is considered participation in sin. Therefore, the husband must strive to guide his wife and advise her to choose religious female friends and appropriate places for recreation.
