Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
No man shall lead the prayer in his houseلا يؤمن الرجل في بيته
, does this imply that if people are invited to a wedding feast and then the time for prayer arrives, they are permitted to pray in the house because they are in congregation, or must they go to the mosque?

Answer:
They do not have a mosque, my brother. If they do not have a mosque, they pray in the house. The one who leads them is the head of the household; the head of the household is the one who leads the prayer, unless someone else is present, in which case he may lead. Yes, if they do not have a mosque, yes.
