The Ruling on a Woman Attending the Friday Prayer in the Mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister is also asking; she says: What is the ruling on a woman praying the Friday prayer in the mosque with the people?

Answer:
Now, a woman attending the Friday prayer or any other prayer is a matter that is disliked in the Shari'ah. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not prevent the female servant your women from visiting the mosques of Allah.لا تمنعوا إماء الله مساجد الله
Sunan Abi Dawud 566
and their homes are better for them, and let them go out without adornment, without perfume, veiled. The women of the Companions used to attend and pray behind the Companions with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So do not prevent women from praying in the mosques, even though their homes are better for them.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
