What is reported about women going to the mosques
Muwatta Malik (Yahya) 467 — What is reported about women going
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَاتِكَةَ بِنْتِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ ، امْرَأَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ، أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَسْتَأْذِنُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَسْكُتُ ، فَتَقُولُ : " وَاللَّهِ لَأَخْرُجَنَّ إِلَّا أَنْ تَمْنَعَنِي " فَلَا يَمْنَعُهَا
Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab’s (may Allah be pleased with him) wife, Sayyida Atika (may Allah be pleased with her), used to seek permission from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) to go to the mosque, so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would remain silent. Then Sayyida Atika (may Allah be pleased with her) would say: By Allah, I will go unless you forbid me, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) would not forbid her.
