Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... in order to perform the Friday prayer, he missed the congregation ...?
The Shaykh : This is looked at first: is it his habit to pray this congregation? Second, did he delay for an excuse, such as sleep, negligence, or forgetfulness, or did he delay due to negligence? If it is the former, the reward is recorded for him if it is his habit to pray with the congregation, but he was prevented by an excuse, then it is recorded for him. Yes, 'Abd al-Wahhab.
