Did it reach us from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he admonished women from behind a screen, and is it permissible for imams to admonish women if the conditions for that are met?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our Shaykh, did it reach us from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he admonished women from behind a screen?
The Shaykh : It is not established.
The questioner : Now, are the imams and preachers...
The Shaykh : Or perhaps my answer was too lenient, and the correct thing is to say that it was reported, because if we say it was not established, it was reported, but it is not authentic.
The questioner : Now, if, our Shaykh, the women are demanding that we admonish them, that we set aside a day for their admonition, do we put up the screen or not...?
The Shaykh : But we say, if the women demand that you admonish them, what do you demand of them?
The questioner : The hijab.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : The hijab.
The Shaykh : And will they comply?
The questioner : They will comply.
The Shaykh: I don't think so
The questioner : The hijab is not the niqab; the hijab means the jilbab.
The Shaykh : And this is said to someone like me.
The questioner : So this is a condition, our Shaykh; this is a condition.
The Shaykh : But how do you guarantee it, may Allah bless you?
The questioner : The one who does not wear the hijab, we send her back or we remove her.
The Shaykh : No, you cannot.
The questioner: Why?
The Shaykh : Because they are the majority.
The questioner : With the presence of this condition, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, we call for this, and we call for removing the screens from the walls standing between the women’s prayer area in the mosque and the men’s prayer area.
The questioner : Even if the objectors object.
The Shaykh : Even if... but this is different from the situation you are asking about, because this means changing the structure of the Salafi mosque, if that expression is correct. As for a private gathering where you oversee the women, and there are women, and there are women, and then there are women, as we see today, most women do not wear the jilbab, the Shari'ah jilbab, even within the limits of the broad, easygoing school followed in accordance with the Book and the Sunnah. Even so, they are very lenient. So the bottom line is that we must distinguish between a private gathering for women, where extreme caution is required, and in the mosques, where it is not permissible to put up screens or walls that separate the women from the men.
Another questioner : Our Shaykh, may Allah bless you, regarding the hijab that is obligatory for women to observe, they no longer observe it, and he wants to admonish them. Does he put up the screen, this curtain?
The Shaykh : He puts up the curtain if he is of the opinion that they will not comply.
The Shaykh : It is not established.
The questioner : Now, are the imams and preachers...
The Shaykh : Or perhaps my answer was too lenient, and the correct thing is to say that it was reported, because if we say it was not established, it was reported, but it is not authentic.
