The Ruling on Abandoning the Congregational Prayer for the Traveler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
It is forbidden for him to abandon the congregation and pray at home. He should pray with the congregation and complete the prayer. He prays for Allah. This is the Sunnah, and this is what is required. As for praying alone and abandoning the congregation, that is forbidden; it is not permissible for him. Yes. The traveler is safe regarding the congregation; it is not obligatory to abandon it, neither for the traveler nor for the resident. It is obligatory to attend the congregation, safe with the Muslims, whether the traveler or the resident.
Peace be upon you.
