Question:
We then move on to Riyadh, and the questioner: (H. A. M.) has a set of questions. She begins her letter by saying: Does the virtue of a woman praying in her home equal the virtue of a man praying in the mosque?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 570Sahih (Al-Albani) So she has a great virtue. It may be like the mosque, it may be better, and it may be less. The point is: that the best place for her prayer is in her home. If the virtue of her praying in her home is better than the mosque, it means that she receives the same reward as the mosque, or more; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 570Sahih (Al-Albani) This indicates that the reward obtained by the man in the mosque is obtained by her, or more than that, due to her obedience to Allah and His Messenger, and her submission to the command of Allah and His Messenger. She is in great good; and because her home is safer for her and further from fitnah (trial, discord or temptation).
So if she obeys the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and prays in her home, she is hoped to receive the same reward as the one praying in the mosque, or more. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
