With respect brother you stated that my husband is allowed to stop me from going to the mosque in an earlier post you are now conceding that I am correct although I know I have to ask permission he is not allowed to deny me. How many women do not question or know their rights and too many are eager to hide it from them. I am sorry brother but had I not any knowledge at all I would have followed your advice and not even asked. All that I am trying to find out is if he resides in another country am I allowed to go out? I have blanket permission for work, shopping, visiting relatives etc just not the mosque. I did explain that my deen is weak and I wish to go to be with others and strengthen my faith, something that i could do when i was single as I am a revert. Salam

Please read carefully. I have not said that you are allowed to go to the masjid if your husband forbids it. If he forbids it, he is committing a sin, but that still does not give you the right to go to the masjid - if you do, it would be sinful on your part. For example, if a woman's husband forbids her from reading tahajjud, he will be sinful, but she will have to not pray tahajjud. One of the rights that the husband has over his wife involve asking permission to perform nafl fasts and nafl salah. If a husband forbids his wife from performing the sunnah ibaadaat, he is going to be held accountable and the wife will get the equivalent reward for having the correct intentions. If the wife disobeys him, she is going to be held accountable for disobedience.

So, to sum up, if your husband has forbidden you from going to the masjid or if you haven't asked permission, then you should not go to the masjid. You should ask permission as he has already given you permission to go out for other reasons;

he'll oblige. What's the harm in having him grant you a general permission to go to the masjid? If he forbids you, you should not disobey but educate him with the ahadeeth that you have presented to me so that

he changes his mind.
