The call to “pray in your homes” when the congregation is not held in the rain

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: If the congregation is not held tonight, should the call to “pray in your homes” be made at the 'Isha' adhan if the rain continues?

Answer:
Because “pray in your homes” was established for travel, not for residence; it was established for the state of travel. So if they do not combine the prayers, they pray 'Isha' in the mosque, and praise be to Allah, and the adhan is called as usual, and they come to pray 'Isha' as is customary.
