Question:
May Allah reward you. This is the last question in this session. Abu 'Abdullah says: I suffered a stroke that affected my leg. I pray on a chair and cannot attend the mosque. My heart yearns for the mosque and the congregation. Is there any sin on me for praying at home? I ask for prayers for my recovery.
Answer:
You are excused, and praise be to Allah. There is no sin on you. This is a dispensation from Allah for you. You pray in your home, and you have the reward of the one who prays in the mosque, as long as the excuse is what prevents you from going. If you were able, you would go. You have the reward of the one who prays in the mosque.
