Is waiting at home after the Fajr sunnah considered keeping the prayer alive in the house?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it considered keeping the prayer alive in the house for one who prays the Fajr sunnah at home, then stays in his house until the iqamah is called in the mosque, and then goes to the mosque?

Answer:
This was only done by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) because he was the imam. So, for the imam, yes. If he prays the rawatib in the mosque and then comes for the iqamah, there is no harm. As for the ma'mum, it is better for them to go ahead to the mosque and sit waiting for the prayer than to remain in their houses. Yes.
