Women offering Salah outside the Masjid behind the Imam

Q: We have a Masjid (mosque) in Al-Badi`ah District, but it has no place for women to offer Salah (Prayer). During the blessed month of Ramadan, (Part No. 6; Page No. 268) we close the street on the left of the Masjid and put up tents in it for women to perform Salah (prayer) in. However there is a great deal of dispute concerning the permissibility of offering Salah in this place.We hope that Your Honor will give us a Fatwa in this regard and to illustrate whether it is permissible to close streets for women to offer Salah therein or not? May Allah reward and protect you!

A: After studying your question, the Committee decided that it is not permissible to offer Salah in the place you referred to owing to the fact that it is outside the Masjid and separated from it.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
