Use of divider to separate men and women while praying

19-11-1997

Question 588

What is the Islamic View in having a divider in the Masjid between the men and the women sections?

Praise be to Allah.

Al-hamdu lillaah.

There is no problem with having a divider as long as the women are standing behind the men and as long as the women can follow the imam easily.
