Advice to the mosque congregation and its imam regarding neighbors who neglect the congregational prayer

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, there are some neighbors who do not pray with the congregation in the mosque at all, and they are close to the mosque. What is your advice to the mosque congregation, to the imam of the mosque, and to the mu'adhdhin?

Answer:
It is not permissible to leave these people alone and remain silent about them. First, it is obligatory for the imam of the mosque, because he is responsible for checking on his congregation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say, "Is so-and-so present? Is so-and-so present?" He would check on his congregation, and then he would say .
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to order the prayer to be established and to order fire. In a narration, he said: “Were it not for the women and children among them, I would have set fire to their houses.”
So the matter is not easy. It is obligatory for the imam first to address these people. If they respond and accept the advice, that is well; otherwise, he must report their case to the authorities or the authority centers. He must not remain silent until the necessary measures are taken against them, and he must not remain silent about this. It is also obligatory for the mosque congregation to assist him and to stand with him against these people.
So if the lazy ones know that those around them are disapproving of them, they will either move away or pray. Either they will pray, or they will move away, because they know that their neighbors are disapproving of them and following up with them. But if everyone remains silent, the sin falls on everyone: on the one who commits the sin and on the one who did not disapprove. It will encompass them from Him, or by punishment from Him. Yes.
