Are women allowed to go to mosque?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

I am living at aplace where there is tableegh environment at all.there are no muslims staying near to my house.i dont know much muslim women here.so my doubt is can i go to the mosque on fridays for juma so that i meet the muslim women there so that i can do some sort of dawath.there is no otherway of meeting muslim women here.otherwise it will be difficult to maintain iman.i know otherwise its best for women to pray in the house itself.but what about in this condition

Answer

Nabi (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) has mentioned, ?It is best for a woman to perform Salaat in the inner most recess of her home.?

In view of the abovementioned Hadith, we advise you to perform all your Salaats indoors. However, with regard to the issue of Da?awah, you could ge into contact with other women via your husband/son/brother, etc. who would attend the Musjid and obtain contact details of other Muslim families from the men in the usjid. Thereafter, you could contact them for the purpose of Da?awah.

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
