The ruling on one who prays in his home while hearing the call to prayer

Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who prays in his home when the mosque is nearby and he hears the call to prayer, but he prays in his home?

Answer:
His prayer is valid, but he commits a sin by abandoning the congregation. It is valid despite the sin, but this is not sufficient. He must be rebuked, and he is required to pray in congregation.
One who abandons the congregation and abandons the mosque and prays in his home must be compelled to do so, because this is among the wrongs that must be rebuked. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rebuked those who lag behind in prayer, saying that their homes should be burned down with fire.
He rebuked them for this, even though they could pray in congregation in their homes. But the Messenger did not accept this; they must be present and pray with the Muslims in congregation. Its matter is great; it is not easy for a person to be lax with it. Even if his prayer in his home is valid, he commits a great sin by abandoning the obligatory, which is attending the congregational prayer. Yes.
