706 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَتِ امْرَأَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَا يَمْنَعْهَا»

Commentary
Women may come to the mosque veiled for prayer, regardless of whether they are old or young - although it is better for women to pray at home than at the mosque. The congregational prayer has its own merits. In view of this, women may come to the mosque, but they should be veiled, and they should not be wearing perfume. They should arrive at the mosque close to the commencement of the congregational prayer and should return as soon as the prayer is over.
