Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe. A woman is asking, and she says: What is better for her, to pray the obligatory prayer in the mosque, especially the Maghrib, 'Isha', and Jumu'ah prayers, or is it better for her to pray them at home?

Answer:
I mean, the home is better; her home is better for her. And their homes are better for them
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. This is in the city, at the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) mosque. Yes.
