Maintaining the Congregational Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, here is a new word from some of the officials regarding maintaining the Friday prayer.

Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory for every Muslim, whether an official or not, every Muslim, male or female, to maintain the congregational prayer if he is able, if he is capable. But if he has an excuse and cannot attend the congregation, he prays in the place that is convenient for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever hears the call and does not come, his prayer is not valid, except for those who have an excuse.من سمع النداء لم يأته فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam)
It was asked: What is the excuse? He said: Fear or illness. If he has an excuse, there is no harm.

May Allah reward you
