Is it better for a woman to perform Taraweeh prayers in the mosque or at home, and what is the manner of performing them in both cases?
It is permissible for a woman to perform the Tarawih prayer in the mosque, provided she adheres to the rules of (veiling), modesty, and refraining from adornment. However, it is preferable for her to pray in her home, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Do not prevent your women from coming to the mosques, but their houses are better for them." It is not valid for a woman to follow the Imam of the mosque in prayer while she is in her home, even if she hears his voice. If she prays in the mosque, she should follow the Imam and emulate his prayer manner, reciting only Al-Fatiha behind him, and then listening to his recitation.
