The Fajr prayer at home in congregation for the one who missed it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, sometimes I miss the Fajr prayer in the mosque with the congregation, and I pray it at home as a congregation with my sons before the sun rises. Is there anything owed to Allah, as mentioned in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? May Allah bless you, Shaykh?

Answer:
Yes, if you pray it with, if you pray it in your home and you missed the congregational prayer, and you pray it in your home with your children, it is a congregational prayer. The congregation is two or more; the congregation is two or more, and it becomes a congregational prayer. But do not count on this and continue with it, and do not accustom yourself and your children to laziness. Rather, strive to attend the congregation with the Muslims. The Messenger (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 فلم يأته فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam)
It was asked: What is the excuse?
He said: Fear or illness. So you must strive to attend the congregational prayer in the mosque, and take your children with you and raise them to do so. Do not be lax in this matter. Yes.
