The ruling on a woman following the imam from her home if it is adjacent to the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman who lives next to the mosque, with a separating wall between them, to follow the imam in Ramadan during the tarawih prayers and pray with his prayer?

Answer:
No. If the place where she is is part of the mosque, there is no harm. But if it is not part of the mosque, she does not follow the imam unless she sees him or sees someone behind him. As for merely hearing his voice while she is not in the mosque, following him is not permissible.
