sis writer is correct regarding the prohibition of forbidding women from going to the mosque,
From Abd al-Razaq (thiqa) from Mu’amr (thabi) from al-Zuhri (tahbit faqih) that ‘Atika,
the wife of ‘Umar, used to pray in the mosque and he told her, “By Allah, you know that I don’t like this.”
She replied, “I will not stop unless you stop me.”
He responded, “Indeed, I will not stop you.”
On a side not, she was in the masjid when he was stabbed (May Allah be pleased with them).
In another narration from al-Bukhari in his Sahih, “What kept him from doing that was the Prophet’s words, “Don’t forbid women from the masjid of Allah.” (1/305)
May Allah guide us to what pleased Him and grant us insaf.
"Ibn 'Abbass said, 'A beautiful woman, from among the most beautiful of women, used to pray behind the Prophet (SAAW).
Some of the people used to go to pray in the front row to ensure they would not be able to see her.
Others would pray in the last row of the men, and they would look from underneath their armpits to see her."
Because of this act, in regard to her, Allah revealed: "Verily, We know the eager among you to be in the front and verily We know the eager to be behind." (15:24).
Narrated by Ibn Majah, Abu Dawud, Attayalisy, Baihaqi, Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Nasai and others. It was judged authentic by Sheikh Al-Albaanee in his book, Silsilat Al-Ahaadeeth As-Saheehah #2472, where he quoted many scholars who judged it to be authentic.
the Prophet (PBUH) said, "On many occasions I start the prayer with the intention of prolonging it and then
shorten it on hearing the cry of a baby for fear of keeping his mother away from attending him." The
Prophet's (PBUH) Mosque had a number of doors. One day, the Prophet said, "If we could only leave this
door for the ladies!" Ibn Omar, who was always very scrupulous in following the way of the Prophet
(PBUH), was reported as not using this door from then on, leaving it for the purpose mentioned by the
Prophet (PBUH).
