Is it obligatory to evaluate the benefit each time one leaves the home, by analogy with the fatwa of Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen permitting a woman to attend training courses for an overriding benefit, while taking into consideration the noble verse "And abide in your houses"?
Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen issued a fatwa stating that it is better for a woman to remain in her home, unless the benefit for which she goes out outweighs the benefit of her staying home. This is not limited to training courses but includes everything to which this rule applies. He also emphasized the necessity for a woman to adhere to the Islamic guidelines when going out, such as not wearing perfume or displaying her adornment.
