-It's more usual to say: he is going shopping.
-go + for: is not wrong, because for shows purpose here. But it may be uncommon.
-the + shopping: this one seems to be wrong. the should be removed, shopping is an uncountable noun.
 
Hello, Danish, and welcome to the board.

First I will correct your English. Please note the use of capital letters and punctuation.

Dear Teacher

Hello.

Have a good time.

I have a bit of confusion regarding prepositions. Is the following sentence right or wrong and if wrong then please guide me.

HE IS GOING FOR THE SHOPPING.


Regards,

Danish


Your sentence is correct, but it would be more idiomatic to say 'He is going shopping.'
