Question:
Is it permissible for a woman to be a teacher in the mosque, teaching women matters of religion?

Answer:
If they are in a secluded place where men cannot see them, there is no harm. However, it is better and safer for her to do this in her home. It is safer for her and keeps her further away from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). But if she is in a secluded part of the mosque, it is permissible, though it is contrary to what is best and contrary to what is preferred. Yes.
