Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He says:The questioner : Is it better for a woman to pray the obligatory prayer in her home than in the Haram?

The Shaykh : Yes, it is better for a woman to pray in her home than in the Haram, except for the festival prayer. For the festival prayer, it is better for a woman to pray in the festival prayer ground than in her home, if we say that it is prescribed for her to pray the festival prayer, and there is scholarly disagreement on this issue.
As for the remaining prayers—Jumu'ah, Zuhr, 'Asr, Maghrib, 'Isha', and Fajr—it is better for her to pray in her home. Is it better for her to pray in her home? Yes, because the one who said, (peace and blessings be upon him):
A woman's prayer in her home is better for her. صلاة المرأة في بيتها بيوتهن خير لهن
, is the one who said:
Salat is this Masjid of mine is better than a thousand Salat in another, except for Masjid Al-Haram. صلاة في مسجدي هذا خير من ألف صلاة فيما سواه إلا المسجد الحرام
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 325Sahih (Darussalam)
. So, the women in the time of the Messenger, (peace and blessings be upon him), used to pray in the mosque, but the Prophet, (peace and blessings be upon him), said:
Their homes are better for them بيوتهن خير لهن
. Yes.
