‘Abdullaah b. Mas’ood – Allah be pleased with him – said:
Women are but an ‘awrah (something private to be covered). A woman might leave her house without there being any problem with her, but the Shaytaan seeks her out and says [to her], “You will not pass by anyone except that you will impress/please him.”
A woman puts on her clothes and is asked where she is going, to which she replies, “to visit a sick person,” or “to attend a funeral”, or “to pray in the masjid”; but a woman never worships Allah in the way she does when she worships Him in her house.
