Excuse for Absenting Oneself from the Congregational Prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My older brother, I accompany him in the hospital, and he has been hospitalized for a month. He gets worried if I go to the mosque to pray the obligatory prayer, so he orders me, Shaykh, to pray with him. Am I excused from absenting myself from the congregational prayer in the mosque?

Answer:
Yes, you are excused in this case if he needs you and is distressed if you go, then you pray with him, and this is an excuse for leaving the congregational prayer. Yes.
