The answer

Entering the marketplace is permissible for seeking necessities, and this is evidenced by the actions, sayings, and approvals of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. However, despite the permissibility of entering it, the marketplace contains many reprehensible acts. For this reason, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The most beloved places to Allah are its mosques, and the most detested places to Allah are its marketplaces." This is due to the deception, fraud, usury, and false oaths found therein. Therefore, there is no harm if a husband and wife refrain from entering marketplaces, especially given the abundance of reprehensible acts in this era.
