Is there any advice for the women sitting behind this lesson to leave and stay away from the men?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We ask the Honorable Shaykh to give advice to the women who sit behind this lesson to leave and stay away from the men, because the women are among the men in the place of this sermon?

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. There is no harm in women sitting to listen to the sermon and the lesson, but they must be separated from the men and not mix with them. The women used to attend the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to pray with him and to listen to the reminders. However, they should be in the back of the mosque, behind the men in prayer and in listening to the sermon, and they should not mix with the men.
