If one misses the congregational prayer in the mosque, should he pray at home or go to the mosque and pray, even if alone?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I slept through the obligatory prayer and did not wake up until after the congregational prayer had ended. So, is it better for me to perform it at home, or should I go to the mosque to perform it there?

Answer:
If you missed the congregation in the mosque, and you hope to find someone in the mosque to pray with you, go to it. But if the mosque is closed and you do not expect to find anyone, pray it at home where there is no one.
