Can a mother prevent her daughter from praying Isha in the mosque, on the grounds that a woman's prayer in her home is better?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman is permitted to attend the mosque and congregational prayers if she adheres to the legal stipulations, such as going out without adornment or perfume. It is disliked for her guardian to prevent her from attending. If the father agrees to her going, then obedience to the mother is not obligatory, but she should be appeased, and the necessity of going should be explained to her, as well as how it increases faith.
