Is the events hall attached to the mosque considered part of its sanctity, such that it is impermissible for a unveiled woman to enter it? What are the regulations regarding mixing [of genders], and what is the ruling on "Islamic" songs sometimes heard from the hall?

It is not permissible for a woman to leave her home adorned (displaying her charms) to go to the mosque or elsewhere. Rather, she must observe hijab, based on the words of Allah Almighty: "And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance." (Surat al-Ahzab, 33:33). Likewise, it is not permissible for her husband to condone this for her. Instead, he must protect her and prevent her from appearing adorned before non-mahram men, in accordance with the words of Allah Almighty: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire." (Surat At-Tahrim, 66:6). Those in charge of the mosque must establish regulations for events held in its halls and oblige people to implement the command of Allah.
