A girl wanted to join a Qur'an memorization class, but her mother prevented her. Should she obey her mother or go? Which is better?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A girl wanted to join a Qur'an memorization class, but her mother prevented her. Should she obey her mother or go? Which is better?

The Shaykh : No, obeying the mother is better, especially since if she goes out, she will go out to the market. And if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding women praying with men:
Their homes are better for them بيوتهن خير لهن
then this is like that.
But if her refusal causes a good to be missed, let her convince her mother to let her go, and if she gives her permission, she goes.
