A woman praying at home or in the mosque: which is better?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks: What is better for a woman, praying at home or in the mosque? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Praying at home is better, because it is her private place, as stated in the hadith, but she should not be prevented from going out. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 566, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , because she may need the mosque to hear knowledge, or she may not feel motivated at home, such as in Ramadan when she does not feel motivated; she goes to the mosque to pray with the people and feel motivated, and she is not prevented from doing so, or to hear the lessons and benefit from them. But her home is better whenever possible; if it is easy for her to pray at home, that is better for her, because it is further removed from the causes of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
