Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it wrong to rebuke a person who stays for less than four days, or who does not intend a specific duration but came to do work that he does not know when it will end? Is he to be rebuked for leaving the congregation with the Muslims in the mosque?
Answer:
Yes, he is to be rebuked if he prays alone, for he has left a great obligatory duty. He must respond to the mu'adhdhin and pray. If he hears the call and does not respond, he has no prayer except for an excuse. There is a report that there is no prayer for one who is in the mosque. He is required to pray with the people, and he does not get the coming prayer.
