Question:
The questioner, Abdulmun'im, says: “There is no prayer for a neighbor of the mosque except in the mosque.” What is the authenticity of this hadith? And if a person is a neighbor of the mosque due to health conditions, is he required to pray in the mosque or at home?
Answer:
What I know is that this is a report from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said, “There is no prayer for a neighbor of the mosque except in the mosque,” and it is authentic. The evidence supports it. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam). So the one who is around the mosque and hears the call to prayer cannot delay and pray in his home without an excuse, such as illness or fear. Yes.

من سمع النداء فلم يأته فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
