Question:
Is it permissible to miss the congregational prayer out of fear of being harmed by one of the congregation? The mosque congregation says it is because he is sharp-tongued?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. It is permissible to miss it if an enemy harms him by killing him, wounding him, or beating him. But as for a person with his tongue, leave him alone, may Allah protect you. Yes, let his tongue be his, yes.
