A Woman Receiving Reward for Her Heart Being Attached to the Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
She says: I love the mosques, I love them very much; because they are the houses of Allah, but I do not go to them; because I am a woman, and it is not recommended for a woman to go to the mosques, so will I be among the seven whom Allah will shade with His shade, on the Day when there is no shade except His?
Answer:
That is hoped for you; because you have been commanded by the Shari'ah that your home is better for you, so if it were not that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prescribed homes for women, you would have hastened to the mosques because of your love for the mosques.
So the one who is excused—such as the sick person, the one who is bedridden, and the like—if his intention is to pray in the mosque, and he loves to pray in the mosque were it not for the excuse; he is with the worshippers in reward, and so are the women who love to pray in the mosques, were it not that Allah prescribed for them prayer in their homes; they are with those who are consistent in praying in the mosques in reward, and in being among the seven whom Allah will shade with His shade; because they desire it, were it not that Allah prescribed for them prayer in the home.
And among the evidence for that is: His saying (peace and blessings be upon him) in the authentic hadith: So Allah gave him the reward of the fasting people, and he did not fast; because illness and travel prevented him, and he also said (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the expedition of Tabuk: Sahih al-Bukhari 4423 And in another wording: Sunan Ibn Majah 2765Sahih (Darussalam) They said: And they are in the city? He said: And in the other wording: .
This indicates that the one who is prevented by the Shari'ah from doing something—and he loves to do it were it not for the excuse—that he is with the workers, and he has the reward of the workers, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

If a servant falls ill, or travels; Allah writes for him what he used to do while he was healthy and resident
إذا مرض العبد، أو سافر؛ كتب الله له ما كان يعمل وهو صحيح مقيمThere are some people in Medina who were with you all the time, you did not travel any portion of the journey nor crossed any valley, but they were with you
إن في المدينة أقوامًا ما سرتم مسيرًا، ولا قطعتم واديًا إلا وهم معكمthey shared with you in the reward
إلا شركوكم في الأجرAnd they are in the city; an excuse held them back
وهم في المدينة؛ حبسهم العذرIllness
