Is it permissible to pray in congregation in the break area, or is it obligatory for them to go to the nearby mosque?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Those who are gathered in a workplace or a break area, and they are a group, and the mosque is near them—do they pray in their place or go to the mosque? And what is the ruling for the one who prays in this place? Will he be recorded as having the reward of the congregation?

Answer:
It is obligatory for them to go to the mosque as long as they hear the call to prayer and it is near them; it is obligatory for them to go to the mosque. The saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is general, applying to one person and to more than one. Congregational prayer is established in the mosques. My brothers, the congregation is in the congregation is established in the mosques. Why were they built? Go to the mosque, pray with the Muslims, and return to your rest. If it is a rest, that is correct, but some of it is not a rest; it is evil. Yes.
