The ruling on praying Fajr alone when the congregation is lazy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. I pray in a mosque with a small congregation of two or three people, and I am the one who always leads them in Fajr because the imam cannot attend due to his illness. However, sometimes no one from the congregation comes, so I pray alone, and they are lazy. What is the ruling in this matter?
Answer:
The ruling[Al-Qasas 28:56] is that you should advise them and be strict with them, so that perhaps Allah will guide them. If they do not comply, you must complain about them to the nearest Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice center to you, so that they are brought to the center and the necessary action is taken against them if you find no benefit in advising them.

Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ
