A woman is permitted to go out to pray in the mosque, but her prayer in her home is better for her. If a woman prays in the mosque, it is preferable for her to be away from men. There is no harm for her to pray in a place where men can see her, such as the Grand Mosque (Masjid al-), provided that she covers her entire body, including her face and hands.
