Alikom Assalaam
Praise be to Allaah.
No , it is not sunnah to put up walls or screen between women and men in the mosque because the prophet ( PBUPH) did not do it.
there was no partition at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
Women ,men and boys used to pray together in the mosque according to the Islamic rules which is as follows:
Imam stand s first, men stand behind Imam,boys stand behind men,then women stand behind boys. If making partition is must, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would tell us,and since he did not tell us or ordered us to make partition in the mosque, we can not say that we should do it, but men and women should behave islamicly as Allah said(Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.). That is purer for them. Verily, Allāh is All-Aware of what they do.) And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only that which is apparent, and to draw their veils all over Juyubihinna (i.e. their necks )and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons, their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their sisters in Islām), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allāh to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful)24/30/31.
And ALLAH KNOWS BEST.
