Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a man to prevent his wife from praying Tarawih in the mosque?

Answer:
Yes. If he fears for her safety or if she does not observe the hijab, he may prevent her. However, if she observes the hijab and is well-mannered according to the etiquettes of the Shari'ah, he has no right to prevent her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not prevent the female servant your women from visiting the mosques of Allah.لا تمنعوا إماء الله مساجد الله
Sunan Abi Dawud 566
And their homes are better for them, and let them go out in a state of undressوبيوتهن خير لهن وليخرجن تفلات
meaning without adornment and without perfume. Yes.
