Praying in congregation with a sick person during a visit and leaving the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to derive from the hadith of Anas that one may pray in congregation with a sick person when visiting him in his home and leave the prayer in the mosques?

Answer:
No, this was the imam, a regular imam of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). A regular imam is not one who visits every sick person, leaves the congregational prayer, and prays with him. No, this is specific to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and whoever is like the Messenger, because he is a regular imam. Yes.
