The obligatory prayer in congregation at home, whether in its proper time or not?

The questioner : The obligatory prayer in congregation at home, whether in its proper time or not? ... ?

The Shaykh : Congregation at home is recommended, and that is if the head of the household missed the congregation in the mosque; otherwise, he has committed a sin if he does not pray in the mosque with the congregation of the Muslims. If he missed the prayer with the congregation in the mosque and returned home to pray with his family, that is a good thing. However, there is no evidence indicating the existence of this congregation in the mosque. Rather—pardon me, at home—rather, we can only envision one scenario, which was previously mentioned in the preceding hadith: . If these people stayed in a house as temporary residents because they are still emigrants, then they must pray in congregation at home if they do not wish to pray in the mosque. Here a question arises: ... Is it obligatory for the traveler to pray with the congregation in the mosque? We said: It is not obligatory. It appears thatThe questioner : he was among those who wanted to have a specific text for every issue, detailing it specifically. This is, of course, ... the Sunnah of jurisprudence from the sacred texts. They asked: What is the evidence? We said: The evidence is that the traveler is not required to perform the Friday prayer. The scholars agree that the obligation of the Friday prayer is stronger than the obligation of the congregational prayer; because they agreed on the obligation of the Friday prayer, while they differed on the obligation of the congregational prayer. Although the stronger position in our view is that the congregational prayer is an obligation like the Friday prayer; but the Friday prayer is more emphatic in its obligation than the congregational prayer. The hadiths in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) explicitly stated: are sufficient for this. This severe warning has not come in a similar form regarding one who leaves the congregational prayer. If this fact is established in the mind of the student of knowledge, namely that the Friday prayer is dropped for the traveler; then it is all the more so that the congregational prayer in the mosque is dropped for him ... the congregational prayer in the mosque. As for travelers praying in congregation with one another, this is obligatory upon them, as evidenced by the preceding hadith: . In it ... for these two, in addition to what if ... then let him pray in congregation at home.
