The Responsibility of Following Up with Those Who Lag Behind in Attending the Mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Some of the congregation lag behind in attending the mosque. Is following up with them my responsibility as the imam, or does it also include the mu'adhdhin and some of the mosque's congregation?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He)
And cooperate in righteousness and pietyوَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:2]
There is no doubt that the primary person responsible is the imam, and the congregation of the mosque also cooperates with him; this is part of cooperating in righteousness and piety. The imam should not be left alone in carrying out this task; rather, they should assist and support him so that the lazy person does not find anyone to be lenient with him. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
