The Friday prayer at home with the imam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. Brother Abu Muhammad says: Honorable Shaykh, I have paralysis in my body, and my house is close to the mosque in our neighborhood. It is difficult for me to attend the mosque on Friday, even though I can hear the voice of the imam and the preacher. Should I pray at home as a follower of the imam, since my house is directly behind the mosque?
Answer:
As for your hearing the sermon and benefiting from it, that is a good thing. As for your praying alone at home with the imam, that is not permissible. You pray for yourself; you do not pray with the imam.
