Question:
This questioner says: A questioner from outside this country says that the temperature during the Fajr prayer reaches forty degrees below zero. Is it permissible for him to pray in his home in this situation and not pray with the congregation?
Answer:
If this affects his health, he prays in his home. But if it does not affect his health and he can bear it by wearing clothes, he prays with the congregation.
