Question: I am a woman, [and] I pray the taraaweeh [prayer] in my home because the scholars say that the prayer of the woman in her home is better. However, during the last ten nights [of Ramadhaan] I become lazy of taraaweeh and because of that I am forced to go to the masjid so I can guarantee [for myself] that I can perform this action [the taraaweeh prayer] in its complete form, so what is your opinion?
Response: No doubt the prayer of the woman in her home is better, whilst it is also permissible for her to go to the masjid for the prayer with the muslims [in congregation] with the condition that she is protected from any fitnah and that she is covered [by hijaab] and is separate from the men. So in both situations there is reward for her from Allaah سبحانه و تعالى, even though the first situation (praying in her home) is better.
