But, sometimes we fall into a western mentality of role sharing. Now there is nothing wrong with a husband helping his wife out and vice-versa. This is particularly so when we talk of shopping and other such needed but not always necessary tasks. A better way would be to organize herself and her household affairs and that of her children by simplifying her lifestyle and cutting back on the unnecessary. A Muslim woman's constant going to the markets to make the household purchases and her desire to do so is wrong.
Some women have no intention to purchase anything.
They just want to walk around the market and see what's new. Maybe there's a new style, new material, something nice. So she has no true need to go out. If a woman remains in her home then shaytaan cannot do this. The scholars have said that shaytaan comes to those who are before her and make her coming out appear attractive to those who are looking.
