Excuse for missing the congregational prayer to accompany a sick person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: A relative of mine has been hospitalized for years, and I am accompanying him. He is anxious if I go to the mosque to pray the obligatory prayer, so he orders me to pray with him. Do I have an excuse for missing the congregational prayer in the mosque?

Answer:
No, unless he needs you, in which case pray with him. But if he does not need you, do not stay with him and leave the congregational prayer. Yes.
