The answer

Congregational prayer is not obligatory for women. Her prayer alone in her home is better. However, if she prays in the mosque, she should not be prevented, provided she is covered, avoids perfume, and prays behind the men. If congregational prayer is established in the home, it is better for the woman to pray with them to attain the virtue of congregational prayer and avoid suspicion, while striving for devotion.
