Question: Under which conditions are women allowed to leave the home?

 Ans: The principle command for women is that they should remain in their home and should not go out without any extreme need because mischief is feared in their going out.  However if they have to go out in extreme necessity then they should go with a Mahram and duly covered in Burqa' (a "Burqa" covers the whole body including the hands and face) or large overlay so that their body including their cloths should not be visible and after buying the required article they should come back at once. In this condition there is no Haraam.
