Is the woman's reward greater if she prays in her home or in congregation at the mosque?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman's prayer in her home is better than her prayer in the mosque, even though her attendance at the mosque, with the Sharia-compliant regulations, is permissible and they have the reward of congregational prayer. Women's prayer in their homes is more befitting for them due to the benefit of modesty and remaining in their homes, and it is further from temptation. If women pray in congregation in their homes, that would be better; as it combines the two benefits of congregational prayer and not leaving their homes, thus avoiding temptation. And her prayer in her private chamber (the most secluded place in her home) is better than her prayer in her home.
