Question:
Muhammad from Riyadh asks about a woman praying tarawih: is it better for her to pray at home or in the mosque?
Answer:
It is better for her to pray at home. If she wants to go to the mosque, she must cover herself, not wear perfume, and not apply scent. She must lower her gaze and be seeking the reward of Allah and fearing His punishment, with no showing off or seeking fame. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 566 and their homes are better for them. Yes.
