Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a woman asks: As for my brother who prays the prayers at home, he says, “Praise be to Allah, my prayer is valid.” What should I advise him regarding this matter from the perspective of praying in the mosques?
Answer:
He should pray in the mosque, and it is not permissible for him to pray at home without a valid excuse. Because the congregational prayer is obligatory, and it is not permissible for him to pray it alone at home except for one who has an excuse that prevents him from going to pray with the congregation.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
