The answer

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.'"
