Is a woman’s prayer in her home better, even in the Haram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman is in Makkah with her family, is it better for her to pray in the house or in the Haram?

Answer:
In Makkah and al-Madinah, it is better to pray in the house, in every place, unless there is a reason, such as listening to sermons, reminders, and lectures, or because she is lazy at home and becomes active there; in that case, there is no harm in her going to the mosque. Otherwise, the house is better. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And their homes are better for themوبيوتُهن خير لهن
And despite this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Do not prevent the female servant your women from visiting the mosques of Allah.لا تمنعوا إماء الله مساجد الله
Sunan Abi Dawud 566
