Female Facility in the Masjid Complex

6829 – 0146

From a shari perspective is it permissible to have/or not to have a female facility in the masjid complex

As salām ʿalaikum wa raḥmatullāhī wa barakātuhu

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

There is a genuine need to have a safe, protected, and private space for females within a Masjid complex. This space should have an allocated separate entrance away from the entrance and space of the males.

Keeping the aforementioned in mind, it will be permissible to have a separate female facility in the Masjid complex to cater for travellers, programs, and classes.

And Allāh Taʿālā knows best.
