Does a woman seek the annulment of the marriage if her husband does not attend the congregational prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the husband does not pray with the congregation in the mosque, but rather always prays at home, is this a defect that allows the woman to seek annulment?

Answer:
Yes, if he abandons the congregational prayer, this is a major sin among the major sins. If he persists in this, abandoning the congregational prayer entirely, it is a major sin and a sign of hypocrisy, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. She may seek annulment from him through the judge. Yes.
