The virtue of helping people is great, and the wife must balance rights and give every rightful person their due. It is not permissible for a wife to leave her husband's house except with his permission, even if he is strict in preventing her, and she must repent if she leaves without his knowledge. The husband is advised to treat his wife well and not restrict her, and to allow her to go out for necessities while adhering to Islamic manners.
