‘Abdullâh b. Mas’ûd – Allâh 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
Shaytân 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
Allâh in the way she does when she worships Him in her house.
