The answer

A woman's prayer in her home is better for her, but she is not prevented if she wishes to go to the mosque, provided certain conditions are met. The basic principle in congregational prayer is for the worshipper to stand behind their Imam, and deviating from this principle is not permissible except out of necessity and need, such as when the mosque is crowded.
