Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: What is the ruling on placing a barrier between men and women in the Eid prayer area, such as a wall, a curtain, cars, or something else?
Answer:
There is no need for this. In the Eid prayer area, the women are behind the men, and there is no need for a barrier because it is in the open desert. It is recommended that the Eid prayer be performed in the open desert, outside of buildings. There is no need to put up curtains or anything else. Yes.
