Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is severe, biting cold an excuse for praying at home and not going to the mosque, by analogy with heavy rain?
Answer:
By Allah, if it is severe cold and you have no clothes and no car to ride in, and you fear for your safety, yes, it is an excuse. But today, praise be to Allah, there are usually many clothes available and cars are available to ride to the mosque, yes.
