The ruling on one who prays in his home and does not join the congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: The prayer itself is valid, but he is not part of the congregation.
Answer:
Does he commit a sin? If he prays alone and does not pray with the congregation, he is a sinner and a transgressor, but he is not a disbeliever. He does not become a disbeliever unless he abandons it entirely. As for praying in the house, he is a sinner and a transgressor, but not a disbeliever, unless he abandons it completely. As for one who considers it obligatory or follows it as a duty, this is disbelief in the view of all scholars. If he follows it or treats it as an obligation, it is disbelief in the view of all scholars.
