The Ruling on Broadcasting the Khutbah in the Sister’s Section- Shaikh Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad

Question: Is it allowed to broadcast the Jummah Khutbah on the women’s section with both the voice and image of the Khateeb?

Answer: “There is no need for this. [Is] the people’s affair showing pictures and [the women] looking at the men? This is not necessary. The women come to the masjid, stay away from the men, and have the picture of men [displayed] in their section as if they are with the men? This is a great mistake”.
