The Ruling on a Woman Praying in the Mosque and Carrying the Mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm 'Abdullah from Riyadh says that she prays the tarawih in the mosque during Ramadan because I am unable to pray at home due to sleep, and I also do not read much of the Qur'an. When I go to the mosque to listen to the imam, I listen well because I have a hearing impairment. Therefore, I open the mushaf to follow the imam in the mosque and know what he is saying. Is my action correct or not?
Answer:
Her praying at home is better. And her going to the mosque for the sake of prayer is permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: and let them go out without adornment or perfume. As for her carrying the mushaf during prayer, this is disliked because it distracts her from focusing on her prayer and occupies her with looking at the letters. This is something not encouraged. Yes.

Do not prevent the women of Allah from the mosques of Allah, and their homes are better for them
لا تمنعوا دماء الله مساجد الله وبيوتهن خير لهن
