Is it better for a woman to pray in her home or in the mosque if there is a lesson there from which she can benefit?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The women of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) were, without doubt, the first to take the initiative in matters concerning... If the women of the Messenger and the Mothers of the Believers prayed in the mosques, that was only because they heard sermons in the mosque from which they benefited, which they might not find in their homes. In this case, it is better for the woman to pray in the mosque. This means that if a woman goes out to the mosque solely to perform the prayer in congregation, her prayer in her home alone is better for her than praying in the mosque with the congregation. However, if she goes out to the mosque to hear a sermon or attend a lesson, then it is preferable for her to pray in the mosque with the Muslim congregation so that she may attend the remembrance, the sermon, and the lesson. This is a long jurisprudential discussion here, but it seems that there are many questions and time is short, so we will suffice with this much.
The questioner : We will continue, if Allah wills, after the Maghrib prayer.
The questioner : We will continue, if Allah wills, after the Maghrib prayer.
