Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on women attending the mosque in those lands, knowing that many people prevent them from doing so?

The Shaykh : The people who prevent them, what do they mean by preventing them?

The questioner : By Allah, they said...

The Shaykh : Do they mean: for worship?

The questioner : They said: It is better for her to stay in her house.

The Shaykh : Could it be that she is displaying her adornment?

The questioner : No, she wears her Shari'ah-compliant clothing, and comes by car to the mosque door, and there is a special entrance for them, and likewise for the men, and she meets her sisters in the Friday prayer and in Ramadan...

The Shaykh : No, there is no obstacle to that.

The questioner : There is nothing preventing it.

The Shaykh : Absolutely not, the condition is that they are covered with the Shari'ah hijab.
