How can an expatriate woman who prays at home and has no one to pray with obtain the two immunities for one who maintains congregational prayer for forty days without missing the opening Takbir, and do menstrual days prevent her from obtaining them?
A woman earns a greater reward for her prayers at home than for her prayers in the mosque, even if it is the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) or the Prophet's Mosque (Masjid an-Nabawi). If she maintains her prayers on time and establishes them outwardly and inwardly, she will attain a reward that surpasses what she would gain in the mosque. This is based on the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Do not prevent your women from the mosques, but their homes are better for them," and his saying: "If a woman prays her five [daily prayers], fasts her month [Ramadan], guards her chastity, and obeys her husband, it will be said to her: 'Enter Paradise through whichever of its gates you wish.'"
