The reward of congregational prayer for the sick person

Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I used to pray all the prayers in the mosque, but now I pray them at home because of my severe illness. Will my reward be diminished?

Answer:
Your reward will not be diminished if your absence from the congregational prayer is due to an excuse that prevents you from attending, such as illness. In that case, the reward is recorded for you, because you did not abandon the congregational prayer out of a lack of desire for it, but rather because you were unable to attend. If the excuse were to be removed, you would pray with the congregation. Therefore, you receive the reward of the congregational prayer. Yes.
