The Shaykh : Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah, if you please, Shaykh, I have a question. What is better: for a person to worship in their home during Ramadan, or to go to Makkah, where every time they go to the Haram they take a taxi? It is better to pray in her home. It is better in her home. Okay, even if her stay is short, meaning it is not every Ramadan and she does not have a residence there.
The questioner : Even if it is just one night, it is better in her home.
