The ruling on leaving the prayer in the mosque on the pretext of the absence of air conditioners

Question : The questioner asks: Is it permissible for us to leave the mosque because there are no air conditioners and pray in congregation in one house?

Answer : It is not permissible for a person to abandon the congregational prayer in the mosque because the mosque does not have air conditioners, and then go and remain in his house praying under the air conditioner. For we say that Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, mentioned regarding those who say, "Do not go forth in the heat," He said, "Say: The Fire of Hell is more intense in heat, if they only knew." So you go to the mosque and seek help from Allah, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, will help you. And whatever harm you suffer from the heat, it is a greater reward for you. For the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Aisha: "Your reward is in proportion to your hardship."
