It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not prevent Allah’s maidservants from Allah’s mosques, and women should go to the mosque without using perfume.

Sayyiduna Zayd bin Khalid al-Juhani, may Allah be pleased with him, also narrates a similar narration from the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allow women to go (to the mosque) at night, provided that they have not used perfume. Only the narrator Laith has mentioned the words "tafilat" (without fragrance).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No man should ever prevent his family members from coming to the mosques. One of the sons of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We will prevent them. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am narrating to you the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and you speak of preventing them. After that, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) did not speak to that son until his death.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not prevent your women from going to the mosques at night. Salim or another son said in response: By Allah! We will not let them go, because they will make it a means of deception. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) struck his chest and said: I am narrating to you the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and you say this.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not prevent women from going to the mosques, but their homes are better for them. One of the sons of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar said: Why not, by Allah! We will certainly prevent them. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Are you listening that I am narrating the hadith of the Messenger of Allah, and you are saying such words?

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When women seek your permission, do not prevent them from (going to) the mosques. Bilal bin Abdullah said: By Allah! We will certainly prevent them. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am saying that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said this, and you are saying that we will prevent them.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was a very protective man. When he would go out for prayer, (his wife) Sayyida Atika bint Zayd (may Allah be pleased with her) would also follow behind him. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) disliked her going out, but he also did not like to stop her. Then he narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When your women seek permission from you to go to the mosque, do not stop them.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any of your wives asks permission to go to the mosque, he should not stop her. The wife of Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, also used to pray in the mosque. Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said to her: You know what I prefer. But she said: By Allah! I will not stop until you forbid me. Then, when Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, was stabbed, his wife was in the mosque.

Sayyidah Umm Humayd, the wife of Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him), came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Indeed, I love to pray with you. He said: I know that you love to pray with me, but your praying in your (private) chamber is better than your praying in your (general) room, and your praying in your (general) room is better than your praying in your house’s courtyard, and your praying in your house’s courtyard is better than your praying in your people’s mosque, and your praying in your people’s mosque is better than your praying in my this (Prophet’s) mosque. Then that woman ordered and a mosque was built for her in the farthest and darkest corner of her house, and she used to pray there until she met Allah Almighty.
