The ruling on praying at home for one who fears the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I was unable to pray because fear would come over me, fear of things I will tell you about after this phone call. I mean, I could not pray in the mosque, I could not pray, I could only pray at home, but it did not complete for me, neither the takbir of the Fajr prayer nor the completion of the prayer, only at home.
Answer:
Praying at home is not permissible for one who is able to pray with the congregation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam) It was asked: “And what is the excuse?” He said: “Fear or illness.” So if you are able to pray in the mosque, do not pray at home. And if you have an excuse for staying behind and praying at home, such as illness, inability, or something else, there is no harm in that, and you are excused, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

Praying at home is not permissible for one who is able to pray with the congregation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever hears the call and does not come, his prayer is not valid, except for those who have an excuse.
