A man hears the adhan while he is in his house and the rain is pouring down; is it permissible for him to pray in his house and not go to the mosque?

The questioner : Regarding this, O Shaykh, that...
The Shaykh : You do not let one person speak against his will, find the weapon, this...
The questioner : I asked you a few days ago about praying in the house when it rains.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : I asked two days ago about praying in the house when it rains, and you said that as soon as the rain falls, it is an excuse, meaning it would be better if you added...
The Shaykh : An excuse for whom, and an excuse in what?
The questioner : An excuse for this man, for the one who prays, he prays in the house.
The Shaykh : What is its description? It is necessary so that people understand. Do you want to say: A man hears the adhan while he is in his house and the rain is pouring down and falling; is it permissible for him to pray in his house and not go to the mosque, or not? Is this your question?
The questioner : This is the question.
The Shaykh : Fine, and the answer, as I told you before, is that he may do so; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to order the mu'adhdhin on a rainy day to say, in addition to the adhan and to his saying "Hayya 'ala al-salah, hayya 'ala al-falah": "Pray in your homes, pray in your homes," or to make this phrase replace "Hayya 'ala al-salah" and "Hayya 'ala al-falah." There are two opinions or two narrations. The meaning of this is that the Wise Lawgiver, under normal circumstances, orders the people who are in their homes to come out of them to the mosques to witness the congregational prayer, whereas in this sudden situation, He permits them to pray in their homes, in their dwellings.
