The ruling on a woman going out in Makkah and Madinah for congregational prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if a woman is in Makkah or Madinah and wants to attend congregational prayer, whether obligatory or tarawih, in the Grand Mosque or al-Nawawi Mosque, does the same ruling apply in that it is better for her to stay in her home and pray, or is the situation different?

Answer:
This applies to her in every place, in Makkah and Madinah. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said this in Madinah. He said this in Madinah, in his mosque (peace and blessings be upon him). So her home is better for her in any place, in Makkah or in Madinah. She will have a multiplied reward, just as the man has a multiplied reward, because she obeyed the command of her Lord (Mighty and Majestic), and because in Makkah she is in the Haram. The entire Haram is equal; whatever is within the miles is all Haram, and deeds are multiplied in all of it. The same applies in Madinah. And Madinah, yes, she has a reward for what she obeyed of the command of Allah and His Messenger.
