It is permissible for a woman to attend Friday prayer in the mosque, provided her husband gives permission, she does not wear perfume, and she adheres to the Islamic dress code. However, it is better for her to pray in her home, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not prevent your women from coming to the mosques, though their homes are better for them." Some women among the Companions did attend Friday prayer with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and Friday prayer is not obligatory for women.
