Islamic law requires men and women to be separated in the prayer hall; ideally, the women must occupy the rows behind the men. Muhammad preferred women to pray at home rather than at a mosque, and according to the hadith Muhammad said: "The best mosques for women are the inner parts of their houses", although Muhammad told Muslims not to forbid women from entering mosques. The second caliph Umar at one time prohibited women from attending mosques especially at night because he feared they may be teased by males, so he required them to pray at home. Sometimes a special part of the mosque was railed off for women; for example, the governor of Mecca in 870 had ropes tied between the columns to make a separate place for women. Many mosques today will put the women behind a barrier or partition or in another room. Mosques in South and Southeast Asia put men and women in separate rooms, as the divisions were built into them centuries ago. In nearly two-thirds of American mosques, women pray behind partitions or in separate areas, not in the main prayer hall; some mosques do not admit women at all. Although there are sections exclusively for women and children, the Grand Mosque in Mecca is desegregated.

A mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam. Muslims often refer to the mosque by its Arabic name, masjid, Arabic: مسجد‎ — pronounced [ˈmæsʤɪd] (pl. masājid, Arabic: مساجد‎ — /mæˈsæːʤɪd/). The word "mosque" in English refers to all types of buildings dedicated for Islamic worship, although there is a distinction in Arabic between the smaller, privately owned mosque and the larger, "collective" mosque (Arabic: مساجد جامع‎, masjid jāmi‘), which has more community and social amenities.

The mosque serves as a place where Muslims can come together for salat (prayer) (Arabic: صلاة‎, ṣalāt) as well as a center for information, education, and dispute settlement. The Imam leads the prayer.

They have developed significantly from the open-air spaces that were the Quba Mosque and Al-Masjid al-Nabawi in the 7th century. Many mosques have elaborate domes, minarets, and prayer halls. Mosques originated on the Arabian Peninsula, but are now found in al

Women are allowed to worship in the mosque with men, and they have a choice to worship in the women's room as well. Men are not allowed in the women's room.

The mushlim law Shariat prohibits Muslim women to pray at mosque. According to this, women should pray at home.

Although some mosques do provide the facility, however the men and women are separated; you cannot have a congregation of both sexes.

But there is nothing in the Quran either which says women are NOT allowed to enter mosque or pray in congregation.

How can you talk of freedom of women when Muslim women are still forced to wear Burka or masque? Is it not an irony?

Though you are right ,but all muslim women are not wearing burkha and we cant force from religion aspect,in Muslim world they are misinterpreting their religion by torturing women,i dont want to go!!!...It is irony but if Muslim women can come out of their closet and appeal for their freedom, than it can be easily obtained. They are doing it in the name of islam and accepting the dictatorship by themselves

for them. Medieval India saw many foreign conquests, which resulted in the decline in womens status. When foreign conquerors like Muslims invaded India they brought with them their own culture. For them their own women like this. One more reason for the decline in womens status and freedom was that original Indians wanted to shield their women folk from the barbarous Muslim invaders.
