It is permissible for women to go out to the mosque to listen to the sermon and benefit from it, provided they are veiled and modest, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Do not prevent the female servants of Allah from the mosques of Allah." However, their homes are better for them, and they pray Dhuhr four rak'ahs. Women used to pray with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and attend the sermon and Friday prayer.
