Comparing a woman’s prayer in her home versus in the mosque

Question:
The questioner, Umm Asma, asks: Which is better for a woman, to pray in her home or to go to the mosque?

Answer:
It is better for her to pray in her home; because it is more private for her. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and their homes are better for them. And let them go out in a state of need, meaning not adorned, and not wearing perfume. So a woman’s home is better for her than going out. No, and as for worship and the mosque, what about her going out to other than the mosque, and for other than prayer, and for other than a need as well? She only goes out for a stroll, or to look at the markets, or something similar to that which poses a danger to her and to others. Yes.
