Is it permissible to leave the prayer with the imam for a benefit that requires it?

The questioner : A person may leave the prayer with the imam for his own benefit.

The Shaykh : If it is with the imam, why?

The questioner : Or or.

The Shaykh : Why? Why?

The questioner : Because they are far away.

The Shaykh : There is evidence, but it appears that this is for their needs, and for this reason he and his companion take turns; one goes on his day, and the other goes on his day,

The questioner : during the second person's day.

The Shaykh : In any case, the Companions loved to come with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) until Mu'adh ibn Jabal would pray the 'Isha' prayer with the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) despite the narrowness of the night, the time, and the darkness, and then return to his people to pray with them. But sometimes a person has work, and for this reason the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) left Madinah and went to Kufah and Basrah because they saw a benefit in that.
