وَيُكْرَهُ لِلنِّسَاءِ حُضُورُ الْجَمَاعَةِ، وَلَا بَأْسَ بِأَنْ تَخْرُجَ الْعَجُوزُ فِي الْفَجْرِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ عِنْدَ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ، وَقَالَ أَبُو يُوسُفَ وَمُحَمَّدٌ: يَجُوزُ خُرُوجُ الْعَجُوزِ فِي سَائِرِ الصَّلَوَاتِ.
Meaning: Women’s attendance at congregation is described as disliked. Abu Hanifa allows elderly women to go out for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha; Abu Yusuf and Muhammad permit elderly women to attend the other prayers as well.

This describes the classical Hanafi positions, whose application can depend on the circumstances assessed by jurists.
