The ruling on one who prays at home without an excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who prays at home without an excuse? Does he fall under the ruling of a disbeliever, or what is his ruling?
The Shaykh:
A person in congregational prayer, when congregational prayer is obligatory. It is not permissible to pray the prayer of the individual, but it is recommended to pray with the congregation at the time. By his saying (peace and blessings be upon him), this indicates that the prayer of the individual is valid. If he prays alone without knowledge, the prayer is valid, but he has committed a sin by leaving the obligation of the congregation. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Except in the case of the Shaykh of Islam, or one of the scholars, or those who hold that congregational prayer is evil, in which case the prayer is not valid. But the majority of the scholars hold that his prayer is valid, and he is sinful for leaving the Friday prayer. Yes.
