The ruling on maids going to the mosque to pray the tarawih prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner, also Umm 'Ali, says: I have more than one maid, and they want to go to the mosque to perform the tarawih prayer, especially during the days of Ramadan. I am praying at home, so should I let them go to the mosque on their own?

Answer:
It is better that you pray with them in congregation. This is because it preserves them, for if they go out on their own, you cannot be certain they are safe from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) or from bad behavior due to their absence from you. If their intention is worship and obedience, that is achieved at home; they pray with you, and you lead them in congregation, because they are under your responsibility and your supervision of them. Yes.
