Do These Ahadith Suggest That There Should Be Gender Segregation Everywhere?
Sa lam. Sorry for the late reply. But what was the reason for leaving a gate only for women, making sure women leave before men and telling women to stay on the side of the road? Some people say that men & women prayed together in the mosque due to lack of space as the muslims were very little in number back then and the mosque was also small, but these hadiths suggest that there should be gender segregation whenever possible and now mosques should be segregation because we have bigger spaces to build mosques. You wrote these social manners are observed when there is intermingling due to narrow passage, but doesn’t the fact that this intermingling needs to be avoided in narrow passages mean that a form of gender segregation needs to be practiced?
