Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: 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, given that I was eager to attend the congregation in the mosque when I was healthy?
Answer:
Yes, if your delay from the mosque is due to an excuse, and if you did not have this excuse you would have gone to the mosque, then you receive the reward for that by virtue of your good intention. Yes.
