English Translation
Abu Amr al-Shaybani said: 'I heard the owner of this house swearing emphatically: "No place of prayer is better for a woman than her home, except during Hajj or Umrah, unless she is a woman past the age of marriage, walking in her worn shoes." I asked: "What does 'in her worn shoes' mean?" He said: "An old woman whose steps have become short."'
