Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you, what is the stronger opinion regarding a woman attending the Friday prayer?
The Shaykh : The stronger opinion is that it is not recommended for her to attend the Friday prayer, nor any other prayer, except for the festival prayer. Indeed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that women be brought out for the festival prayer. As for anything other than that, it is permissible, but it is not recommended. And the woman, if she goes out for the festival prayer or for other prayers or for a need in the market, should go out without displaying her adornment, without wearing perfume, and without swaggering in her walk; that is, she should walk with modesty.
