Question:
May Allah reward you. This listener says: Is a woman’s prayer in the Makkah Haram better, or in her home?
Answer:
There is no doubt that her prayer in her home is better. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 566 “Let them not go out, for their homes are better for them.” This applies to the Sacred Mosque and any other mosque. Her prayer in Makkah is a prayer in the Sacred Mosque, even if she is in her home. This is because the Sacred Mosque encompasses the entire Haram; everything within the miles of the Haram is part of the Haram, and all of it multiplies the reward for deeds, obligatory acts, and prayers. So she receives the reward and obtains the multiplication of reward while in her home, and she also obtains seclusion. Yes.
May Allah reward you. This listener says: Is a woman’s prayer in the Makkah Haram better, or in her home?
Answer:
There is no doubt that her prayer in her home is better. For this reason, 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 وبيوتهن خير لهن
