When returning from work, the 'Asr adhan is called while on the road and traffic is heavy; should one look for a mosque or what?

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When I leave work, due to the heavy traffic, the 'Asr prayer coincides with me being on the road every day. Is it obligatory for me to look for a mosque, or may I pray it when I arrive home?
The Shaykh:
No. If you are able to pray it in the mosque, it is obligatory for you to do so with the congregation in the mosque. It is obligatory for you if you are not able to pray it before you reach your home, then you delay it until you are at home. Yes.
The presenter:
That is the end.
The Shaykh:
Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
