What is your opinion on preventing women who display their adornment from entering the Haram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner says: I have a suggestion. If the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice were to place one of its employees at every gate of the Haram, or if the gatekeepers were tasked with it, and if they prevented women who are immodest and display their adornment from entering the Haram in the best manner, informing them of the ruling on this, and not allowing entry except to those who wear the hijab, that would be better and more upright.

The Shaykh : We agree with this suggestion and consider it good and upright. I heard a man addressing the officials here after the Maghrib prayer, saying that they have placed those who are capable, but the breach is wider than the patch, and the matter escapes our hands due to the large number of people. In any case, this suggestion is good and fine, and if people are treated in the best manner, much good will result from it, if Allah wills.
