The ruling on a woman praying the tarawih without her husband's permission

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Abdullah asks: Is it permissible for a woman to pray the tarawih without her husband's consent in Ramadan, especially since her husband always insists that she not go out to the mosques?

Answer:
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
and their homes are better for them. So he should not prevent her unless there is harm in her going out, whether for her, for him, or for the children; in that case, she stays in the house. But if there is no harm in her going out and no fear for her, then he should not prevent her. Yes.
