The Ruling on Delaying the Prayer Beyond Its Time and Neglecting the Congregational Prayer

Question:
The first question is about the ruling on leaving the prayer in its time in order to cooperate with the congregation? Leaving the prayer with the congregation.

Answer:
He mentioned two questions in this, meaning delaying the prayer beyond its time intentionally. This is forbidden and not permissible, and his prayer is not valid if he takes it out of its time intentionally; his prayer is not valid. So he must repent to Allah and maintain the prayers in their times. The second matter is that he did not pray with the congregation, and he is able to do so; the congregation is near him. The congregation is obligatory; the congregational prayer is obligatory for the Muslim who is able to attend and pray with the congregation, due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) . So it is not permissible for the Muslim, while he hears the call and is able to attend, to be absent from the congregational prayer. Yes.
