بَابُ خُرُوجِ النِّسَاءِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ


WOMEN GOING OUT TO THE MASĀJID



The question of women attending the masjid should be understood through the Qur’ān, the authentic Sunnah, and the practice and understanding of the Companions رضي الله عنهم.


The authentic Sunnah establishes that women were permitted to attend the masjid and that they were not to be generally prevented from doing so.


At the same time, the Sunnah also establishes important guidelines concerning modesty, clothing, perfume, conduct, and respect for the masjid.


Therefore, the subject should be approached with both sides of the Prophetic guidance:


PERMISSION


and


PROPER ISLAMIC ETIQUETTE.



━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✦ AHMADTRINI ✦

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


❶ DO NOT PREVENT THE FEMALE SERVANTS OF ALLAH FROM THE MASĀJID



One of the clearest narrations on this subject was reported by Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه.



عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ


لَا تَمْنَعُوا إِمَاءَ اللَّهِ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ، وَلَكِنْ لِيَخْرُجْنَ وَهُنَّ تَفِلَاتٌ



Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:


“Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from the mosques of Allah, but let them go out without perfume.”


تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ — TAKHRĪJ


Sunan Abī Dāwūd, Ḥadīth 565

The narration is graded Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ by al-Albānī رحمه الله. (Sunnah)


This ḥadīth contains both permission and etiquette.


The Prophet ﷺ said:


لَا تَمْنَعُوا


“Do not prevent.”


And then he explained:


وَلَكِنْ لِيَخْرُجْنَ وَهُنَّ تَفِلَاتٌ


“But let them go out without perfume.”

Therefore, the Sunnah does not merely establish permission; it also teaches the manner in which that permission should be exercised.


______________________________________



❷ IBN ʿUMAR رضي الله عنهما REPORTS THE SAME COMMAND

ʿ


Abdullāh ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما reported:



عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ


لَا تَمْنَعُوا إِمَاءَ اللَّهِ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ



Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:


“Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from the mosques of Allah.”


تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ — TAKHRĪJ


Sunan Abī Dāwūd, Ḥadīth 566. (Sunnah)

The repetition of this instruction in the Sunnah demonstrates its importance.


The Prophet ﷺ did not say that women were forbidden from entering the masjid.


Rather, he instructed:


لَا تَمْنَعُوا


“Do not prevent them.”



━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✦ AHMADTRINI ✦

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


❸ WHEN WOMEN ASK PERMISSION TO GO TO THE MASJID


Another clear narration is reported by Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما.


عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ


قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ


إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَتْ أَحَدَكُمْ امْرَأَتُهُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَا يَمْنَعْهَا



Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:


“When the wife of one of you asks permission to go to the mosque, he should not prevent her.”


تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ — TAKHRĪJ


Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Ḥadīth 442a. (Sunnah)



This is another direct Prophetic instruction.

It establishes that a woman may seek permission to attend the masjid and that she should not simply be prevented.


______________________________________



❹ WOMEN HAVE A SHARE IN THE MASĀJID


Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما also reported:


عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ


لَا تَمْنَعُوا النِّسَاءَ حُظُوظَهُنَّ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنُوكُمْ



Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:


“Do not prevent women from their share of the mosques when they seek your permission.”


تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ — TAKHRĪJ


Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Ḥadīth 442h. (Sunnah)


The wording:


حُظُوظَهُنَّ مِنَ الْمَسَاجِدِ


“their share of the mosques”


is particularly noteworthy.


It shows that women had a recognized place in the worshipping community of the Prophet ﷺ.


______________________________________


❺ WOMEN WERE PERMITTED TO ATTEND THE MASJID AT NIGHT



Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما reported:



عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ


ائْذَنُوا لِلنِّسَاءِ بِاللَّيْلِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ



Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:


“Permit women to go to the mosques at night.”


تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ — TAKHRĪJ


Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ḥadīth 899.



It is also narrated by Muslim in the chapter concerning women going to the masjid. (Sunnah)


This is important because the Prophet ﷺ specifically addressed attendance at night.


______________________________________


❻ THE LESSON OF IBN ʿUMAR رضي الله عنهما


In another narration, the son of Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما objected to women going to the masjid.


Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما responded by reminding him of the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.


عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ


قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ


ائْذَنُوا لِلنِّسَاءِ بِاللَّيْلِ إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ



Then his son objected.


Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما said:


أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَتَقُولُ: لَا؟


“I am narrating to you from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and you say: No?”


تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ — TAKHRĪJ


Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Ḥadīth 442g. (Sunnah)


This is an important lesson in following authentic Prophetic guidance.


━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✦ AHMADTRINI ✦

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


❼ THE PROPHET ﷺ ALSO SAID THAT THEIR HOMES ARE BETTER FOR THEM


Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما reported:



عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ


لَا تَمْنَعُوا نِسَاءَكُمُ الْمَسَاجِدَ وَبُيُوتُهُنَّ خَيْرٌ لَهُنَّ



Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:


“Do not prevent your women from the mosques, but their houses are better for them.”


تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ — TAKHRĪJ



Sunan Abī Dāwūd, Ḥadīth 567. (Sunnah)


This narration should be understood carefully.

The Prophet ﷺ said:


لَا تَمْنَعُوا


“Do not prevent.”


Then he said:


وَبُيُوتُهُنَّ خَيْرٌ لَهُنَّ


“But their houses are better for them.”


Thus, the preference for prayer at home should not be confused with a blanket prohibition from attending the masjid.


BETTER DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN FORBIDDEN.


______________________________________


❽ WOMEN WERE PRESENT IN THE MASJID DURING THE TIME OF THE COMPANIONS


The Prophetic permission was not merely theoretical.


The women of the Companions attended the masjid.


عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ:


كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِعُمَرَ تَشْهَدُ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ فِي


 الْمَسْجِدِ، فَقِيلَ لَهَا: لِمَ تَخْرُجِينَ وَقَدْ تَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ يَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ


 وَيَغَارُ؟ قَالَتْ: وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُ أَنْ يَنْهَانِي؟ قَالَ: يَمْنَعُهُ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ


«لَا تَمْنَعُوا إِمَاءَ اللَّهِ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ


📚 تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ


صَحِيحُ الْبُخَارِيِّ، كِتَابُ الْجُمُعَةِ، حَدِيثُ رَقْمِ ٩٠٠



Ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما narrated:


“One of the wives of ʿUmar used to attend the Fajr and ʿIshāʾ prayers in congregation in the mosque.


She was asked, ‘Why do you go out when you know that ʿUmar dislikes it and is protective?’


She replied, ‘What prevents him from forbidding me?’


It was said: ‘What prevents him is the statement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ:


“Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from the mosques of Allah.”’”


🌸 Important point 


Important:  Al Bukhārī  900 itself does not name the wife; it simply says كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ لِعُمَرَ — “one of ʿUmar’s wives.” Some later sources identify her as ʿĀtikah bint Zayd, but that identification is not stated in the wording of Bukhārī 900.


تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ — TAKHRĪJ


Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ḥadīth 900.


This demonstrates that women attending the masjid was known during the time of the Companions. (Sunnah)


______________________________________


❾ THE PROPHET ﷺ FORBADE PERFUME WHEN GOING TO THE MASJID


Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reported:


عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ


أَيُّمَا امْرَأَةٍ أَصَابَتْ بَخُورًا فَلَا تَشْهَدْ مَعَنَا الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ



Abū Hurayrah رضي الله عنه said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:


“Any woman who has applied perfume should not attend the ʿIshāʾ prayer with us.”


تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ — TAKHRĪJ


Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Ḥadīth 444. (Sunnah.com)


This clearly establishes that the permission to attend the masjid is accompanied by Islamic etiquette.


THE ISSUE IS NOT WOMEN ENTERING THE MASJID.


THE ISSUE IS OBSERVING THE GUIDANCE OF THE SUNNAH WHEN DOING SO.


______________________________________


❿ PROPER DRESS AND MODESTY


The Muslim woman attending the masjid should observe Islamic modesty.


She should come:


① Properly covered.


② In dignified and modest clothing.


③ Without perfume intended to attract attention.


④ Without displaying adornment in a manner contrary to Islamic modesty.


⑤ With respect for the masjid and those worshipping there.


The Sunnah therefore combines:


ATTENDANCE + MODESTY + DIGNITY + GOOD CONDUCT



━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✦ AHMADTRINI ✦

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


⓫ THE MASJID IS A PLACE OF WORSHIP AND KNOWLEDGE


The masjid during the time of the Prophet ﷺ was a place where Muslims learned their religion.


Women among the Companions asked questions, learned from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and transmitted knowledge to later generations.


Therefore, a woman attending the masjid for:


╰─❀ Ṣalāh


╰─❁ Qur’ān


╰─✿ Dhikr


╰─❧ Islamic Lectures


╰─❖ Beneficial Knowledge



and other legitimate acts of worship may do so while observing Islamic etiquette.


______________________________________


⓬ ATTENDANCE DOES NOT MEAN ABANDONING ḤAYĀʾ



The permission to attend the masjid should never be separated from:


الْحَيَاءُ — ḤAYĀʾ


الْعِفَّةُ — CHASTITY


الْوَقَارُ — DIGNITY


الْأَدَبُ — GOOD MANNERS



Islam does not teach:



“Women may attend, therefore anything is permissible.”


Rather, the Sunnah teaches:


“Women may attend, while observing the limits and manners of Islam.”


______________________________________


⓭ THE SUNNAH PROVIDES A BALANCED GUIDANCE


When the narrations are gathered together, we find:


PERMISSION


Women may attend the masjid.


NO GENERAL PREVENTION


They should not be generally prevented.


MODESTY


They should observe Islamic dress and conduct.


NO PERFUME


They should not go to the masjid wearing perfume.


HOME PRAYER


Their homes may be better for them for prayer.


RESPECT


The masjid should be approached with dignity and good manners.


This is the balanced picture provided by the authentic Sunnah.

⓮ A NOTE ON THE STATEMENT OF ʿĀʾISHAH رضي الله عنها


There is another authentic narration that should be mentioned respectfully.


ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها said:


عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا تَقُولُ


لَوْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَى مَا أَحْدَثَ النِّسَاءُ لَمَنَعَهُنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا


 مُنِعَتْ نِسَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

ʿ


Amrah bint ʿAbd al-Raḥmān reported that she heard ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها say:


“If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had seen what the women had introduced, he would have prevented them from the mosque, just as the women of Banī Isrāʾīl were prevented.”


تَخْرِيجُ الْحَدِيثِ — TAKHRĪJ


Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Ḥadīth 445a.


It is also narrated in:


Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ḥadīth 869. (Sunnah)


This is an authentic statement of ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها, and therefore it should be treated with respect.


However, understanding the exact wording is very important.


______________________________________



⓯ THE IMPORTANT WORD: لَوْ — LAW — “IF”


ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها began her statement with:


لَوْ -“IF”

She said:


لَوْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَأَى


“If the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had seen...”


She did not report that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ actually said:


“Prevent women from attending the masjid.”


Rather, she was saying that if he had witnessed what she had later observed among women, she believed that he would have prevented them.


This is therefore a conditional statement concerning what she believed the Prophet ﷺ would have done under circumstances that she had witnessed.


It is different from an actual Prophetic command.


______________________________________


⓰ WHY THIS STATEMENT SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A BLANKET PROHIBITION


The direct Prophetic narrations already presented are explicit:


قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ


لَا تَمْنَعُوا إِمَاءَ اللَّهِ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ


“Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from the mosques of Allah.”


And:


قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ


إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَتْ أَحَدَكُمْ امْرَأَتُهُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَا يَمْنَعْهَا



“When the wife of one of you asks permission to go to the mosque, he should not prevent her.”


Therefore, the statement of ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها should not be presented as though it were an actual Prophetic blanket prohibition.


Rather, it should be understood in its own wording and context.


It remains an important warning from the Mother of the Believers رضي الله عنها concerning changes in women's conduct.


But it is not the same type of evidence as an explicit statement in which the Prophet ﷺ himself commanded:


“Prevent women from attending the masjid.”


No such actual Prophetic blanket command is contained in this narration.


______________________________________


⓱ WHAT WAS ʿĀʾISHAH رضي الله عنها WARNING ABOUT?


Her statement should not simply be dismissed.

Rather, it reminds Muslims that conduct and circumstances matter.


The Prophet ﷺ had already prohibited women from going to the masjid wearing perfume.


So the statement of ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها can be understood as a serious warning concerning the changes she observed among women and the importance of preserving:


🌸 Ḥayāʾ


🌿 Modesty


❀ Proper Clothing


🌷 Avoiding Perfume


❁ Avoiding Attention-Attracting Behavior


Thus, her statement reinforces the importance of the etiquette already taught by the Prophet ﷺ.


______________________________________



⓲ A FRIENDLY WAY TO UNDERSTAND THE TWO SETS OF EVIDENCE


There is no need to create confusion between these narrations.


We can respectfully place them together:

THE PROPHET ﷺ GAVE THE PERMISSION

“Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from the mosques of Allah.”


THE PROPHET ﷺ GAVE THE GUIDELINES


“Let them go out without perfume.”



ʿĀʾISHAH رضي الله عنها GAVE A LATER WARNING


She observed changes among women and stated what she believed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would have done had he witnessed those circumstances.


Therefore:


THE PROPHETIC PERMISSION SHOULD BE PRESERVED.


THE PROPHETIC ETIQUETTE SHOULD BE PRESERVED.


THE WARNING OF ʿĀʾISHAH رضي الله عنها SHOULD ALSO BE UNDERSTOOD AND RESPECTED.


This gives the reader a fuller picture of the subject rather than presenting only one side.



━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✦ AHMADTRINI ✦

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━


⓳ THE COMPLETE PICTURE FROM THE SUNNAH


After gathering the narrations together, the subject can be summarized as follows:


① Women are permitted to attend the masjid.


② They should not be generally prevented from attending.


③ The Prophet ﷺ explicitly commanded that they not be prevented.


④ Women were permitted to attend even at night.


⑤ Women among the Companions attended the congregational prayers.


⑥ Women should not wear perfume when going to the masjid.


⑦ Proper Islamic modesty should be observed.


⑧ Good manners and dignity should be maintained.


⑨ A woman's home may be better for her prayer, but this does not establish a blanket prohibition from the masjid.


⑩ The statement of ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها should be understood as a conditional statement and warning, not presented as an actual Prophetic blanket prohibition.


This is the approach that allows the various authentic narrations to be considered together.


______________________________________


⓴ A FINAL BALANCED CONCLUSION


The subject of women attending the masjid should not be reduced to one narration while the other authentic narrations are ignored.


The Sunnah gives us a balanced picture:


WOMEN MAY ATTEND THE MASJID.


THEY SHOULD NOT BE GENERALLY PREVENTED.


THEY SHOULD OBSERVE MODESTY AND ISLAMIC ETIQUETTE.


THEY SHOULD NOT WEAR PERFUME WHEN GOING TO THE MASJID.


THEIR HOMES MAY BE BETTER FOR THEM FOR PRAYER.


THE AUTHENTIC STATEMENT OF ʿĀʾISHAH رضي الله عنها SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD ACCORDING TO ITS CONDITIONAL WORDING AND CONTEXT.


In this way, we respect the direct words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while also respecting the warning of ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها.


PERMISSION DOES NOT MEAN WITHOUT LIMITS.


PREFERENCE FOR HOME PRAYER DOES NOT MEAN PROHIBITION FROM THE MASJID.


AND A WARNING ABOUT CONDUCT DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY BECOME A BLANKET PROHIBITION.


And Allah knows best.

🌿 FINAL REMINDER


The authentic Sunnah gives us a beautiful balance.


Women were not generally excluded from the masjid during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.


The Prophet ﷺ said:


لَا تَمْنَعُوا إِمَاءَ اللَّهِ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ


“Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from the mosques of Allah.”


But he also taught women to attend with proper Islamic etiquette and without perfume.


And ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها gave a valuable warning about changes that she witnessed among women after the time of the Prophet ﷺ.


Therefore, the Muslim should not take one narration and leave the others.


Rather, we should strive to understand:


╰─❀ THE PERMISSION


╰─❁ THE ETIQUETTE


╰─✿ THE CONTEXT


╰─🌷 THE WARNINGS


╰─🌸 THE COMPLETE GUIDANCE OF THE SUNNAH


May Allah سبحانه وتعالى grant us the ability to understand the Qur’ān and Sunnah correctly, to honor the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and to respect the understanding and warnings of the Companions رضي الله عنهم.
