Another example of unrestricted public interest, concerning the ruling on placing a barrier between women and men during prayer in mosques

The Shaykh: Now, you have mentioned this, and unfortunately, it is a reality. Today, women enter the mosques in their best state, and at best, their prayer is disliked to the extent of being forbidden, and it may even be invalid because they do not wear the Shari'ah-prescribed hijab that covers the 'awrah completely, and then it does not cover them from another side. This is a harm. Should the removal of this harm, when these women enter the mosque for prayer, be to place a barrier between them and the men, because they are praying with a non-Shari'ah hijab? No, here we say:
"Sa'd brought them in, and Sa'd was wrapped up *** This is not, O Sa'd, how camels are brought in"
We say: It is obligatory for the imams of the mosques, and even more so for the rulers who hold power and authority, to enforce the Shari'ah-prescribed hijab on women, not only for the sake of praying in the mosque, but also for when one of them leaves her home to go to a friend's house, or to visit her father and mother, or for any other of the prescribed interests.
