The Ruling on the Book Permitting Congregational Prayer in the Home

Question:
He asks about a book and study in which its author mentioned the permissibility of congregational prayer in the home, and that it is equal to congregational prayer in the mosque.

Answer:
This is not a scholar; this is an intruder into knowledge, a lazy person, and he wants to confuse people with him. This is a false statement. If so, why are mosques built? I mean, building mosques and spending on them would be futile. Since the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), mosques have been built. If we were to follow this statement, what would be the witness to the building of mosques? This is empty talk. And what makes the matter lighter is that this person is not even one of the pretenders to knowledge; he is a known person who is not even a writer and does not know how to write well; he is an intruder.
