Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Ziyad from al-Muzaymiyah says: There is a person who does not pray in the mosque except on Friday. When he was asked about it, he said, "The Friday prayers are expiations for what lies between them." What is the ruling on this statement?
Answer:
They expiate minor sins, but as for major sins, they are not expiated except through repentance. Abandoning congregational prayer is one of the major sins, so he must repent to Allah, pray with the congregation, and respond to the call to prayer. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam) It was asked: “And what is the excuse?” He said: “Fear or illness.” Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.

Whoever hears the call and does not come, his prayer is not valid, except for those who have an excuse.
