Question:
Honorable Shaykh, these are scattered questions from some of the sisters. One of them says: I have children who need me. Is the reward in staying with them, or in going to the mosque to perform the tarawih prayer and the night prayer with the Muslim congregation?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. It is obligatory for a woman to stay with her children at home to keep them company and protect them from dangers and from being lost. Going to the mosque is permissible for her. Therefore, staying in her home with her children and praying whatever she can manage at home is better for her. Yes.
