Question:
Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu .
Respected mufti sahib I do Shar’i Pardah my parents says me that u are so strict in religion and says me to go every where remaining in Pardah ,I stay in my home acting on my ALLAH’S order” Stay in your home” *al Ahzaab* I go never outside my home expect college because my parents says me to go their answer me in small time to help your sister saving from these evil people .
Wassalaam
Answer:
Maashaa Allah. You doing Shari’ Pardah is an excellent thing, may Allah be pleased with you and may he give you added courage and steadfastness, Ameen.
You can leave your house while in Pardah to fulfil your necessities. This is not in conflict with the verse in Surah AL Ahzaab. In fact the meaning of that Ayah is; women should not beautify themselves and then go outside in order to show off their beauty and to attract men towards them.
May Allah Ta’ala keep you steadfast. Ameen.
And Allah Ta’ala knows best
