Leaving the congregational prayer when the adhan is called
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener Waleed has two questions. He says: We gather every week for coffee after Maghrib, and when the adhan for Isha is called, we pray in congregation at home. Is that permissible for us?
Answer:
It is not permissible for you to do that while you are hearing the call. Answer the call. If you have a desire to sit, then you sit after the prayer. But when the mu'adhdhin calls, you head to the mosque for the congregational prayer. It is not permissible for you to neglect answering the mu'adhdhin. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Mishkat al-Masabih 1077 Yes.
