The ruling on women attending the Friday prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it acceptable for the father of Umm Hisham (may Allah be pleased with her) to allow women to attend the Friday prayer?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it; there is no harm. Women attending, provided they do not mix with the men, is a well-known matter from the Sunnah. They used to attend the festivals, listen to the sermon, and attend the Friday prayer. When they prayed the Fajr prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), they would be in a separate section. They would listen to the Qur'an. There is no obstacle to women attending, as long as the prescribed Islamic etiquettes are observed. Yes.
