The ruling on a woman going out to the mosque and the effect of khushu' on the prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another woman says: I do not attain khushu' (humility) except by following the imam in the mosque during the tarawih and night prayers. Is it better for me to go to the mosque or to pray at home?

Answer:
It is permissible for a woman to go to the mosque, as 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
So it is permissible for her to go out to the mosque. However, her prayer at home is better. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And their homes are better for themوبيوتهن خير لهن
So she should pray in her house. As for khushu', if she fears her Lord (Mighty and Majestic) and is afraid of Him, she will attain khushu' by the permission of Allah. Yes.
