The ruling on an elderly person missing the prayer in the mosque if walking is difficult for him

Question:
May Allah reward you. We are receiving this call from Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz from Riyadh. Yes. Peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. I have a question, may Allah reward you with good. Please go ahead. My father is old, over eighty years old. He goes to the mosque. The mosque is about a hundred meters away. But sometimes he falls on the way, whether going or coming back. And he is affected by these falls. I mean, he falls several times. So I don't know whether to let him pray at home or what to expect. Is there another question? May Allah keep you safe, thank you. Thank you, Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz. Please, Shaykh.

Answer:
If someone can go with him, whether you or one of your brothers, and you seek reward from Allah and go with him and help him, then it is obligatory for you and for him to pray in the mosque. But if there is no one to go with him, and there is a danger that he will fall and be affected and harmed, then this is an excuse for him to pray in his home. Yes.
