Ibadah in the masjid or at home..

[Umm Uthmaan]

Assalamu alaykum dear sisters

Do you prefer the masjid or staying at home during the nights of Ramadan?

[Layla_]

[notEVOLVED]

Nawafil Ibadah are recommended to be done at home.

Narrated Ibn `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Offer some of your prayers in your houses and do not make them graves."

--Sahih al-Bukhari 1187

And this was said to the men. So, shouldn't it be more recommended for the women?

Also, there are other evidences that show the importance of doing Nawafil Ibadah at home: https://islamqa.info/en/answers/2220...rayers-at-home

I been going to the masjid with my husband these last 10 days and i really enjoy it because it gives a little emaan boost, but since the reward for woman is bigger at home it should be dearer to our hearts i suppose

I love taraweeh at the masjid. Especially when it's a long prayer and the imam isn't reciting too fast. I love how the masjid becomes alive during the last nights and you see new and old faces. It's truly a lovely atmosphere. That being said, the women's section is always smaller, and we pray so close to each other, that it becomes uncomfortable. You can't even sit correctly, so it becomes harder to concentrate during prayer. Also there's a lot of loud chitchat going on. Some sisters have to be reminded several times not to disturb others. Because of these factors and a few others, I prefer to do ibadah at home. I wonder if the men face similar problems.

Sis i always want to leave early because i want to find a good spot instead of being squeezed in sujood and my husband is so laidback and doesn't get why im rushing to leave because they always have space enough.... also i heared some girls in the masjid chatting and gigling while i tried to focus on salah... why are they even there if they wont pray i dont get that...Ā

Home definitely

[Ya'sin]

Obviously I am grateful that I experienced going to mosque which had a separate section for women

It's nice but just prefer home, always have prayed home until after marriage when I wanted to see the mosque

[LailaTheMuslim]

I prefer home to the masjid as I get distracted easily :)

[Umm Uthmaan]

Yeah I wonder why they bother going to the masjid, if not to pray or read quran/dhikr. I've realised that the most comfortable spots is the first row in either ends. You only have one praying next to you on your right or left side and that means plenty of space to yourself :) Honesly speaking, one extra row would solve the problem lol

I think the only time I have prayed in a Masjid was in Saudi during Umrah.

I would like to be able to pray in a Masjid if I had the opportunity but I have never checked if any of my local masjids have a women's section.

I would not let my women folk go to the masjid unless they covered head to toe and even their eyes

coz brothers will stare at them so much

some brothers are weird aswell they will go to sisters randomly if they are seen on the street and propose to them right there
they dont even know if they are married or on iddah or single or not

... covered head to toe and even their eyes

How would that work?

[Abu julaybeeb]

How would that work?

Wear 2 layer niqaab
you can just flip the 2nd layer on and it covers the whole face including eyes
then flip it off so everything covered except eyes
