Praying in the mosque in severe cold

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the legal criterion in the case of severe cold regarding prayer? Am I required, or is it obligatory for me, to pray at home?

Answer:
It is obligatory for you to pray in the mosque unless you are unable to do so, or you fear for your safety on the road or from the severity of the cold that you might contract an illness or a harm. In that case, you pray at home because you are excused. However, as long as you are able to attend despite the tolerable hardship, you must attend. Yes.
