Muslimah how to deal with thIs?

Assalamualeykum

So basically I am really depressed as my mother doesn't let me go out at alla nd hang out with my friends. She knows I'm not that type of girl who will do wrong but yet she doesn't let me. When I ask her she says it's a disgrace for girls to go out with their freinds and that girls need a mahram to go out. But when I go to school she has no problem at all. I even have to leave the house like really early in the morning and it doesnt bug her.... It's like I can never have fun.

What should I do? Is it true we need a mahram?

    Sister, She is doing this out of her love for you!

    I'm guessing you live in a Non-Muslim culture? Right?

    Well living in Non-Muslim country for a young girl is difficult! You know how bad no, worst things like rape, alcohols are carried out there!

    She trusts YOU my sister but she does NOT trust the society around you!

    She wants to save you from all this!

    Why don't you choose an alternative like calling your friends over to your home?

    In this way you can enjoy their company in the safety of your home :)

    I, myself live in a Muslim country and I am 17, Still my mom calls me like 100 times when I am out with my friends like on a trip :)

    And I don't always get the permission to hang out with them though but I understand!

    She is doing this because of love and you should respect her for that!

    May Allah Help you,

    Ameen

    Wasslam.

    Your mother needs to understand you are not going to do things behind her back. However, if you really want to go outside someone should stay with you so your mother doesn't think your doing something wrong.

    In order to have mahram, it's when you go somewhere in a trip.

    When you go outside with your friends you may think it is safe to be there but you never know when someone can just walk up to you do something. In that situation your friends may let you deal with it on your own and there is no one to guard you. At school it is different there are teachers around and it is a safe place to be. In public your on your own with friends. You may think it is not fun but you know that your mom is doing this for your best. If you have an older girl cousin like 18+ it can be safe. Be aware not every where is safe and you can have your friends over to your house or something, or go shopping with your mom and with your friends together. Always try to be on the safe side. I am a Muslim and I know how you feel sometimes when things don't go your way. Be patient, and when the time comes you will be allowed to go to places on your own.

    Yes it is true. I do not live in an Islamic culture as I am a revert and I don't live near any other Muslim people. But from the study I have done, it is Islamically correct that girls and unmarried women are supposed to have a mahram with them when they go out. It is a protection. In my culture we have a similar situation but we call it a chaperone. It is simply someone you know, whom you cannot marry, who is there to look out for you and keep you out of trouble with boys when you go out.

    I think that's really unfair. Your mum should give u some space and freedom. But not too much. You need to learn to be independent.

    I think u need to sit down and speak to ur mum

    How u feel.

    It is no need to go out with Mahram. But you should tell her about your friends and be out for certain time with your mother awareness that where have you gone.

    I am sorry to hear this sister. I thought you are a good example of piety and knowledge on this forum. You can talk to them on internet or skype even, but obey your mom. In this age she must have many

    worries when you are not with her. Think, what would you have done

    if you were in her place.
