What is the ruling on placing a barrier between men and women in the prayer area designated for the university, what is the ruling on women praying behind men while wearing trousers, and what is the ruling on praying in a mosque whose owners refuse to place a barrier between men and women and which is owned by individuals and is not an endowment?
It is not obligatory to place a barrier between the rows of men and women in the mosque; women used to pray behind men in the Prophet's mosque (peace be upon him) without a barrier. However, if the absence of a barrier leads to corruption, then it becomes obligatory to place one, and an agreement should be reached on it to avoid discord.
There is no objection to purchasing a building and designating it as a mosque without registering it in the name of the Islamic society. It is permissible to refuse the presence of a barrier between men and women because it is not necessary except in cases of fitnah (temptation/discord).
As for girls praying in trousers, it is disliked (), and it is not permissible if they are with non- men.
