The Ruling on Missing the Congregational Prayer for a Legitimate Religious Excuse

Q: I live in a house with only my father, my wife, and two small children. On one occasion, my father ordered me to go pray in the mosque, but my wife made me swear by Allah not to leave the house until my father returned from the mosque, fearing that she would be left alone.
When my father returned, he asked me why I had not gone to the mosque. I told him, and he made me swear by Allah not to go to the mosque and to pray at home instead. I told him that praying in the mosque is better than praying at home, and that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Despite this, he insisted that I pray at home and said that if I went out, he would not allow me to enter again. So I obeyed him in compliance with his order. Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good, especially since the woman constantly complains about being left alone in the house?

A: If there is danger to your wife and she is not safe, and there are things around her to be feared from, then you have an excuse to pray at home out of concern for your wife. However, if the place is safe and there is no doubt in what your wife mentioned, and it is merely her being lax, then pray in the mosque. Obey your father in what he orders you of what is good; rather, obey Allah before your father. It is obligatory for you to pray in the mosque with the Muslims, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): A blind man asked him, saying: “O Messenger of Allah, I have no guide to lead me to the mosque. Do I have a dispensation to pray in my house?” He said, may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him: He said: Yes. He said: .
So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the blind man who had no suitable guide to pray in the mosque and did not excuse him. You are more deserving of doing so than he is. You are not required to obey your father in what contradicts the Shari'ah; because the Messenger of Allah, may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him, said: And he said, may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him: But if the wife is not safe, the place is not safe, and the danger exists, then there is no harm in praying at home, and this is a legitimate religious excuse.
As for the hadith: it is a weak hadith, not preserved from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); rather, it is famous from 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
But what is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is sufficient for that, namely: the two previous hadiths: and the hadith of the story of the blind man mentioned earlier, in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: .
So these two authentic hadiths are sufficient in place of the hadith: .
The point is that it is obligatory for Muslim men to pray in the mosques and to increase the number of Muslims, and to go out to the mosque and not imitate the hypocrites. Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “And indeed, I saw that none of us would miss it—meaning the prayer—except a known hypocrite whose hypocrisy is well-known.” And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to burn the houses of those who missed the prayer with fire.
So it is obligatory for you and every capable Muslim to pray in the mosque, and he has no right to pray in his house except with a legitimate religious excuse, such as illness or fear. May Allah guide them all to His guidance.
