Umm al-Mu'minin Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had seen what the women have introduced in this time, he would certainly have prevented them from going to the mosques, just as the women of Bani Israel were prevented. Yahya bin Sa'id said: I asked: Were the women of Bani Israel prevented from the mosques? He said: Yes.
