Is it permissible to prohibit women who are not covered in the proper islaamic covering from entering the masjid ? (after they have been given the proper naseeha) Please advise the daleel.Jazzakallahu khayrun

Praise be to Allah.Alone, and peace and blessings be

upon him after whom there is no Prophet.

If a woman comes to the mosque wearing improper hijab, then according

to Islam she should be advised and have explained to her – with the daleel or proof

– the fact that hijab is obligatory, and the seriousness of neglecting it. If she

then complies, then praise be to Allah. If she does not comply, then do not let her enter,

because of the fitnah (temptation) and evil involved in her actions. The Prophet

(peace

and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Any woman who has put on bukhoor

(incense, fragrance) should not attend this ‘Isha’ prayer with us.” (Reported

by Muslim, 675). And he

(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said

concerning women’s going out to the mosque: “Let them go out unperfumed” (reported

by Abu Dawood, 478), i.e., not wearing any perfume. Women have to go out

wearing complete Islamic hijab, and not wearing adornment or perfume. And Allaah knows

best.
