The questioner : O Shaykh, two men own a farm and have a small mosque. One of them fell ill and cannot go to the mosque. Should the other go and pray alone in the mosque, or pray with his companion at home? Specifically regarding the congregation and its virtue?
The Shaykh : Yes, does anyone come to the mosque?
The questioner : No, the mosque is small, for just the two of them.
The Shaykh : I mean, there are no passersby who come from there.
The questioner : It is in a farm far from the paved road.
The Shaykh : Then he should come with his companion and pray with him in congregation; that is better than praying alone in the mosque.
