If a group of people is present for breaking the fast, and the host is not fasting, and the Maghrib adhan is called, should he leave them and go to pray, leaving them in the house, or should he stay with them?

The Shaykh : Did you hear his words? He says: If a group of people is present for breaking the fast, and the host is not abstaining, yes, he is not fasting, and the Maghrib adhan is called, should he go to pray and leave them in the house, or should he stay with them and eat? As for the opinion that congregation in the mosque is not obligatory, as is the school of thought with us, then he stays with them, because staying with them is part of honoring the guest. But as for the opinion of obligation, the obligation of praying in the mosque, he must ask their permission and go to pray. The stronger position is that it is obligatory in the mosques. Yes.

The questioner : Not knowing the meaning of the prayer.
