Dear sister mbellos, please allow me to take your post point by point and also to provide you with hadith to back up my answers.
firstly there is no contradiction in what i have quoted re women should not be stopped from going to the mosque it is the first part of the hadith the second half is that but it is better for them to pray at home.

Narrated by Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said: “Do not prevent women (wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, etc) from (praying at) mosques. Yet, their prayer at home is better (for them).”

with regards your second point

Hadhrat khalid bin waleed (RA) who didnt liked his wife going to masjid. Tried to stop her and when she didnt agree to it, acted with wisdom hiding behind a tree and throwing stones at her after which she herself stopped.

Have we understood the deen or have we grasped the message of the prophet better than these sahaba? Just a thought for those people who argue about &quot;women have the right to go to mosque&quot;. We all know that. Sahaba also knew that. Still we all can imagine the level of fitna at the time of sahaba compared to that of today. Even then they had the objection at that time. And if people object today, then they do only for these valid reason that some of the sahaba had at that time.
your third point regarding the activities of women eg going out shopping traveling alone.

Narrated by Ibn Mas'ud: Allah's Apostle said: “(Unveiled) woman is a cause of corruption. Once she goes out Satan beautifies her in the eyes of men (to seduce her as well as them). At her home, she is the closest (to the face) of her Lord.”

Narrated by Abi Ausaid Al Ansari: While Allah's Apostle was going out of the mosque he saw all men and women in the road. He told the women: “You should wait behind. You should not walk in the middle of the road.” The narrator said: “women afterwards used to walk so close to the wall so that their dresses often stick to it.”

Dear sisters please do not take my quoting this hadith out of context I am not saying women should not be allowed out I am trying to show the fitnah involved in her doing so and the steps she was advised to take if she did.

my next point refers to your information regarding women going out shopping to cinemas etc

Narrated by Ibn 'Abbas: Allah's Apostle said: &quot;A woman should not travel except with a Dhu-Mahram (her husband or a man with whom that woman cannot marry at all according to the Islamic Jurisprudence).&quot; A man got up and said, &quot;O Allah's Apostle! I intend to go to such and such an army and my wife wants to perform Hajj.&quot; The Prophet said (to him), &quot;Go along with her (to Hajj).&quot;

Narrated by Ibn Jarieh said ‘Ata had told him when Ibn Hashim prevented women from performing Tawaf with men: how could he prevent them while the wives of the Prophet performed Tawaf with men?” I (i.e. Ibn Jarieh) said: before or after (the verse of) hijab (was revealed)? He said: “Upon my life, after hijab.” “How could they intermix with men?” I asked. “They didn’t,” he replied. “’Aisha used to perform Tawaf at a dividing space from men; she didn’t intermingle with them.”

Even performing the sacred rites of Hajj and umrah were kept segregated

have you been on hajj or umrah sister.

finally sister you quote to me regarding knowledge and education, i am deeply upset by your comments, just because i have only completed one course on this web site does not mean that i do not have some religious knowledge. you do not know what my status is regarding the educational courses i have or have not attended for all you know i could be sheikah hadith. although im not. but i dont think you have any right to comment on my level of education.

Narrated by Abu Huraira: A group of women came to Allah’s Prophet and said to him: “We cannot attend your majlis (gathering) of men, so, appoint us a day to come to you (alone).” He said: “We will meet at the house of so and so.” He went to them on the specified date and place. Among what he said at that day to the present women was “any woman who rises up three children for the sake of Allah will enter paradise.”

Allah and his prophet say if you see something wrong then it is a duty to try and change it in three ways i beleive that inshallah i have tried.
And allah knows best.

please forgive me if i have offended anyone this allah knows is not my intention.
