Question:
Salih Muhammad says: May Allah bless you. I do not feel like going to some of the mosques to pray; I prefer praying at home. What is the ruling on my doing this?
Answer:
Your doing this is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam) They asked: What is the excuse? He said: Fear or illness. So whoever hears the call to prayer and is able to respond to it and go to the mosque, it is obligatory for him to do so in order to pray with the congregation. This applies to men. As for women, they pray in their homes. Yes.
