Can women perform the tarawih prayer in the mosque?

The Prophet (peace be upon him) stated on various occasions that women may come to the mosque, but that worship performed at home is superior for them. He said: “Do not prevent your women from going to the mosques, but their homes are better for them.” (Abu Dawud, Salat, 53 [567]; see Bukhari, Jumu‘ah, 13 [900]; Muslim, Salat, 136 [442]). It is known that the Prophet permitted women to go to the mosque, and even encouraged them to attend the Eid prayer on festive days such as Ramadan and Eid al-Adha so that they could share in the communal joy (Bukhari, ‘Idayn, 15, 19, 21 [974, 979, 981]; al-Hajj, 81 [1652]; Muslim, Salat al-‘Idayn, 1-3, 10-12 [884-885, 890]). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) also gave advice to women coming to the mosque, prohibiting them from wearing attention-drawing clothing and perfume (see Muslim, Libas, 125 [2128]; Salat, 141-142 [443]). Although it is more virtuous for women to perform their prayers at home, there is no objection to them performing obligatory prayers and the tarawih prayer in congregation at the mosque, provided they observe the necessary decorum (Zayla‘i, Tabyin, 1/140; Ibn Nujaym, al-Bahr, 2/71).
