Women attending the musjid for the five daily congregational salaah

Q: Are women allowed to attend the masjid for 5 times daily salaah with congregation? Just like how in the western countries it's done? 

A: On account of the abundant fitnah prevalent everywhere, the Fuqahaa have discouraged women from coming to the musjid for the five daily congregational salaah.
