Is it permissible to perform Tarawih prayers in the women's prayer area that is separated from the men's prayer area by a road for vehicles and pedestrians due to maintenance work in the original location, given that other mosques exist, but this mosque is distinguished by the quality of its shaykhs and the devotion in prayer?
