Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the festival prayer for women? If it is obligatory, does their prayer in their homes suffice?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered women to go out for the festival prayer, even the young girls who are not yet married, and even the menstruating women. They go out for the festival prayer and stay away from the prayer area. Women going out for the festival prayer is a command required by the Shari'ah, commanded by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the sake of the appearance of the Muslims and establishing the religious practice. The religious practice of the festival prayer, but with the precaution for women against free mixing, against displaying their adornment, and against wearing perfume. They go out covered, not adorned, and not wearing perfume, and they are kept separate so they do not mix with the men. Yes.
