Summary/Abstract: The introduction of this work presents a short analysis of the general view of the Islamic sources regarding women’s attendance in the mosque. It offers a review of the hadith relating the Messenger’s prohibition of preventing women from going to the mosque and explains how this Prophet’s prohibition was neglected after his demise with the excuse of fasadu-z-zaman or corruption of society/times. This attitude was particularly popular within the Hanefi School which was also the school of law followed by the Bosniak ulama. Keeping this in mind, the article further reviews the opinions of Bosniak ulama in this regard and analyses the customary practice in Bosnia and Herzegovina of women attending the jamaat gatherings as well as of their participation in other activities in mosques from the post-Ottoman period to the present day.
