The question

Is it permissible to designate specific times in a small prayer area for women's prayers only, in order to encourage them to attend, or is it better to encourage them to pray in congregation and not designate times, for fear of innovation (bid'ah)?

The answer

"It is permissible for female students to pray in their homes if they realize the time for prayer there, or in a place prepared for that purpose. The aforementioned place is unsuitable for everyone to gather due to its narrowness and the prohibited matters that could result from that. If there is no designated place for women to pray at their time, then the suggestion mentioned in the previous answer should be acted upon."
