The ruling on not praying in congregation after the iqamah on the grounds of travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Two people in one of the mosques were sleeping before the Zuhr prayer. The adhan was called and the iqamah was established, but they did not pray with the congregation. They said, "We are travelers." What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
This is not permissible. Whoever is present for the iqamah must pray with the Muslims if he is present for the iqamah.
The prayer is established and he is in the mosque, sitting. He must pray with them, even if he is a traveler; he considers it a voluntary prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in Mina, when he prayed Fajr and turned to the congregation, saw two men behind the rows. So he called for them; they were sitting, so he called for them. They were brought to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), their limbs trembling from fear of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).Sunan an-Nasa'i 858Sahih (Darussalam) Yes.
It is permissible for a person to sit while the prayer is being established, or to sleep while the prayer is being established. He leaves when he is no longer praying; he exits the mosque. Yes.

He said: 'What kept you from praying with us? They said: '0 Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) we has already prayed in our lodgings.'
فقال ما منعكما أن تصليا معنا؟ قالا يا رسول الله إنا قد صلينا في رحالناHe said: "Do not do that. If you have prayed in your tents, then you come and the prayer is being established, pray with them, for it is a voluntary prayer for you."
قال لا تفعلا اذا صليتما في رحالكما ثم جئتم والصلاه تقام فصلوا معهم فانها لكم نافله.It is permissible for a person to sit while the prayer is being established, or to sleep while the prayer is being established. He leaves when he is no longer praying; he exits the mosque. Yes.
