The ruling on a Muslim man leading his wife in prayer if he missed the congregational prayer for a valid excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: The brother A. M. A. from Yanbu al-Bahr in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia says in his question: If a person misses the congregational prayer in the mosque and then prays at home leading his wife, does he thereby obtain the virtue and reward of the congregational prayer? I ask for your guidance. May Allah extend your life in His obedience.
A: It is obligatory for the believer to hasten to prayer in the mosque with the congregation, due to the saying of Allah, the Exalted: [al-Baqarah:238] and His saying, the Exalted: [al-Baqarah:43] and His saying, (peace and blessings be upon him): [Al-Mu'minun 23:1] the ones who are humble in their prayers [al-Mu'minun:1-2] until He said, the Exalted: those are the ones who will inherit Paradise; they will abide therein forever [al-Mu'minun:9-11] and due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352 It was said to Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him): What is the excuse? He said: Fear or illness.
And in Sahih Muslim, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) , that a blind man said: O Messenger of Allah, I have no guide to lead me to the mosque, so do I have a dispensation to pray in my house? So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: He said: Yes. He said: . And the hadiths in this meaning are many.
And whoever misses the prayer with the congregation and prays leading his wife, there is no harm, and the virtue of the congregation is hoped for them if he is excused, but she should line up behind him and not stand with him.
A: It is obligatory for the believer to hasten to prayer in the mosque with the congregation, due to the saying of Allah, the Exalted:
Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer
حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلاةِ الْوُسْطَىAnd establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].
وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَCertainly will the believers have succeeded:
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ And those who are constant in their prayers
وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى صَلَوَاتِهِمْ يُحَافِظُونَ Whoever hears the call and does not respond, he has no prayer, except one who has an excuse.
من سمع النداء فلم يجب فلا صلاة له إلا من عذرAnd in Sahih Muslim, from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) , that a blind man said: O Messenger of Allah, I have no guide to lead me to the mosque, so do I have a dispensation to pray in my house? So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him:
Do you hear the call to prayer?
هل تسمع النداء للصلاة؟Then respond.
فأجبAnd whoever misses the prayer with the congregation and prays leading his wife, there is no harm, and the virtue of the congregation is hoped for them if he is excused, but she should line up behind him and not stand with him.
