Women and Men Exiting from the Same Gates in the Era of the Prophet

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Likewise, may Allah preserve him, he says: They argue that men and women used to exit from a single door in the time of the Prophet?

Answer:
No, the women had their own door and the men had their own door. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the men to wait until the women had exited so that they would not mix with them in the street.
