Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman says that her husband never prays in congregation, but he prays all the prayers at home in their proper times without delay, and he prays the voluntary prayers and the night prayer. However, she has been unable to convince him to attend the congregational prayer in the mosque. Her question is: Is she allowed to ask for separation for this reason, or not?
Answer:
No, she does not ask for separation. His prayer is valid and sufficient, but he commits a sin by leaving the congregational prayer. He commits a sin by leaving the congregational prayer, and he misses out on much good, depriving himself of much good. Otherwise, his prayer is valid according to the majority of the scholars, that the prayer is valid. Yes.
