There is no mosque in our town because there is no Muslim other than me in that town, so what is obligatory upon me?

The questioner:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, there is no mosque in the town where I live, and I do not pray in congregation because there is no Muslim other than me in that town, so what is obligatory upon me?

The Shaykh:
What does he say? Does he have a mosque or is there another Muslim?

The questioner:
No, he says there is not.

The Shaykh:
Yes, yes.

The questioner:
He says there is no mosque in the town where I live.

The Shaykh:
A mosque or a masjid; it does not have to be a mosque. It does not have to be a mosque if it is for the endowment, yes.

The questioner:
He says there is no Muslim other than me in this town, so what is obligatory upon me?

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for you to pray and to maintain the prayer. If you have any Muslims, you pray in congregation. If you do not have anyone, you pray alone, praise be to Allah. Do not abandon the prayer by saying, "I have no one." Yes.
