There is a lot of talk about whether the Prophet (saw) explicitly gave permission for an all women mosque or whether it is an innovation. This is where Islam is falling behind. There are many rulings and hadith that are redundant now simply because the system is not as it was in the Prophet's (saw) time and there are many things that did not need to be considered at the Prophet's time simply because they didn't exist.

This situation is new, there was no need for an all women's mosque at the Prophet's (saw) time, but that is not to say that it isn't allowed under Shariah. We need people who have studied the Quraan and the Hadith to deduce the answer from what is present. Just as there are no explicit Hadith on cloning the Scholars studied the Quraan and Hadith and deduced, based on the rulings on similar cases, what the Islamic rulings are.

It is good for us Muslims to discuss such cases since it is in all our interests but in the end, to ensure fairness and justice, people with in-depth knowledge of the Quraan and Hadith and have spent their life studing it are the ones who must be heeded.

Just a little note, banning women from mosques is not always due to lack of space. A new mosque was built next to me which is absolutely huge with several floors, yet men and women share the same exit and women feel very uncomfortable praying there. Perhaps with an all women's mosque a husband or brother would feel more at ease with letting his wife/sister go and pray at the mosque.
