Question

When according to the Hadith women attended Walimahs, why will it not now be permissible?

Answer

When it is not permissible for women to attend the Musjid for Salaat, then to a greater degree is it prohibited for them to attend waleemahs. The same reasons on which the prohibition of attending the Musjid is based apply to waleemahs and all other functions. The Fuqaha and even our Akaabireen such as Hadhrat Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (rahmatullah alayh) have decreed that it is no longer permissible for women to attend waleemahs.
