How can one respond to those who believe that separating women's prayer areas from men's prayer areas in mosques with walls, and isolating them behind the mosque, is an act of extremism and exaggeration, and that this did not exist during the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and who claim that it involves many prohibitions and dangers for women? And is what they said correct?

Women used to pray in the mosque behind the rows of men without a separating wall during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Nevertheless, separating them from men is a legitimate requirement due to the measures the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, took to prevent temptation, including: 1. A woman's prayer in her home is better for her. 2. The best of women's rows is the last, and the worst is the first, due to their distance from men. 3. His eagerness for women to leave before men to prevent mixing. 4. Designating a door of the mosque for women to enter and exit from. 5. Women's eagerness to leave before men.

These measures indicate the importance of separating women from men in the mosque. Building a barrier or designating a specific place for them is not extremism; rather, it is in accordance with Islamic law.
