Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on the prayer of one who prays at home?
Answer:
Is it a voluntary prayer or an obligatory one? Voluntary prayer is better at home, but as for obligatory prayer, it is not [permissible] at home. Obligatory prayer is required in congregation in the mosque, and it is not permissible for him to pray at home except for an excuse, such as illness or fear. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352 So he must respond to the call and attend the mosque to pray with the Muslims. Congregational prayer is obligatory. Yes.
