The ruling on women praying the Friday prayer and congregational prayer in the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible for women to go to the mosque to pray the Friday prayer and the congregational prayer, knowing that the mosque has only one entrance, but the women pray in their own state in a screened room?

Answer:
It is permissible, yes, but their homes are better for them. Her prayer at home as the midday prayer is better. She does not pray the Friday prayer; praying at home is better, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Their homes are better for themبيوتهن خير لهن
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not prevent the female servant your women from visiting the mosques of Allah.لا تمنعوا إماء الله مساجد الله، وبيوتهن خير لهن
Sunan Abi Dawud 566
So if they pray in the mosque while being covered, far from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and from perfume, there is no blame on them. But her home is better for her and more excellent. And if she prays the Friday prayer with the people, the Friday prayer suffices for her. As for at her home, she does not pray anything but the midday prayer of four rak'ahs. She prays the midday prayer of four rak'ahs at her home. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
