Women Using the Mosque as a Passageway

Question

Is it permissible for Muslim and non-Muslim women to come and go through the inside of the mosque?

Answer

The mosque should not be made a passageway, neither for men nor for women. Women should be prevented even from coming to the mosque for prayer; and what business do non-Muslim women have there, why should they come?
