A woman's prayer in her home is better than her prayer in the mosque, and the best place for her prayer is her private chamber (a small room within a larger room). Similarly, a man's prayer does not suffice for his wife, because purely physical acts of worship, such as prayer, do not permit representation by proxy, according to the unanimous agreement of scholars.
