Those who permitted women to go out to the mosque

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: A wife of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to pray Fajr and Isha in congregation. Someone said to her, "Why do you go out for the prayer, when you know that Umar dislikes this and feels jealous about it?" She said, "Then why does he not forbid me?" The people said, "This saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prevents him from forbidding you"; he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from the mosques of Allah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from coming to the mosques of Allah. However, when they come, let them not come wearing perfume."

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: If the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had seen what women have introduced today, he would have prevented them from going to the mosque, just as the women of Bani Isra'il were prevented. Amrah said: I asked, "Were they prevented?" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "Yes."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from coming to the mosques of Allah."
