Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: A questioner from outside this country says: In our country, kidnapping and killing are common due to the absence of security and safety. He says: My neighbor was kidnapped and killed while on his way to the mosque for the Fajr prayer. My mother learned of this and prevented me from going to the prayer. I did not obey her in this. He says: What do you advise me to do? And is it obligatory for me to obey?

Answer:
Yes, as long as there is danger and kidnapping, this is an excuse for leaving the congregational prayer. Yes.
