Is it permissible for a woman to pray at all times in the mosque?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A young woman who is veiled and adheres to the Islamic legal dress code, covering her entire body except for her face and hands, if she wishes to pray all her prayers in the mosque, is that permissible for her? And is it permissible for her to go there constantly with her husband?

A: There is no blame on a woman praying in the mosque if she is wearing the legal hijab, covering her face, hands, and entire body, and avoiding perfume and tabarruj (display of adornment); based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
Do not prevent the female servant your women from visiting the mosques of Allah.لا تمنعوا إماء الله مساجد الله
Sunan Abi Dawud 566
However, her home is better for her; based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) at the end of the aforementioned hadith:
And their homes are better for themوبيوتهن خير لهن
