The ruling on women advancing ahead of the rows of men

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Women advancing ahead of the rows of men, especially in the two sacred mosques?

Answer:
In any case, they should be in a separate section; in the Sacred Mosque, they should be placed in a separate section so that men are not behind them.
Q: But is it permissible for a man to line up behind her if he finds no other place?
A: He should not be behind her, and the prayer is valid, but this is not recommended. One should follow the Sunnah and be cautious about praying behind her.
