Sunan Abi Dawud 569 (Book 2, Hadith 179) #20860
Women in Mosques: A Historical Perspective

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his wife A'ishah discussing how women of the Children of Israel were prevented from visiting the mosque for prayer.

'A’ishah (Allah be pleased with her), wife of the prophet , said ; if the Messenger of Allah had seen what the women have invented, he would have prevented them from visiting the mosque (for praying), as the women of the children of the Israel were prevented. Yahya (the narrator) said; I asked 'Umrah ; were the women of Israel prevented? She said: yes.
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ بِنْتِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ قَالَتْ لَوْ أَدْرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا أَحْدَثَ النِّسَاءُ لَمَنَعَهُنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا مُنِعَهُ نِسَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ‏.‏ قَالَ يَحْيَى فَقُلْتُ لِعَمْرَةَ أَمُنِعَهُ نِسَاءُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect religious spaces & practice modesty when attending them

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses a conversation between Prophet Muhammad and his wife A'ishah about women in mosques. They discussed how women of the Children of Israel were prevented from visiting mosques for prayer. This suggests that there may have been restrictions on women's access to mosques in earlier times. However, it is important to note that this does not mean that all Muslim women should be restricted from entering mosques today; rather it serves as a reminder to respect religious spaces and practice modesty when attending them. Additionally, this hadith also highlights the importance of respecting religious traditions while also being mindful not to impose outdated restrictions on modern-day practices.
