The answer

Markets are places where evil deeds and temptations abound. If the market to which the wife goes is such, and mixing increases therein, and she is exposed to temptation, then the husband is right in preventing her, and she must obey him; because this is a matter of good to which obedience is due. He should try to persuade her to go with him. If the wife insists on going with her sisters, he may permit her to go if she is righteous, upright, and properly veiled, and hopes to avoid causes of temptation, especially if she needs the help of her sisters in choosing her purchases. It is not advisable to restrict her in terms of time unless her absence is prolonged and the husband is harmed by it.
