Ruling on Abandoning Congregational Prayer in the Mosque

The question: He also says: A man does not pray in the mosque, knowing that he is a neighbor of the mosque, and he is a religious man who prays at home with his children. This man's excuse is that the people who pray in the mosque have envy, hatred, or resentment in their hearts. What is the ruling on this, may Allah guide you?
The answer: This man has committed a wrong; because praying in the house is not permissible, and it is obligatory for the believer to pray with the people in the mosques in congregation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a severe warning. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a blind man who asked him: It was narrated by Muslim in the Sahih. So if a blind man who has no guide suitable for him is told: "Respond," and he is prohibited from praying in the house, then what about the healthy, capable man?! And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to burn down the houses of those who lag behind, and it is narrated from him (peace be upon him) that he said: .
In summary: It is not permissible for him to pray in the house; rather, he must pray with the congregation, even if there are people in the congregation whom he claims have envy or such things. This does not prevent him from attending with them and praying with them. If a person knows that there is evil in someone, he should advise him and direct him to good. As for lagging behind the congregation, this is not permissible; rather, it is obligatory for him to attend the congregation. And Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said in the authentic hadith: . This is a type of hypocrisy; lagging behind the congregational prayer without an excuse is a type of hypocrisy, as Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said. He should be advised and directed to good, and he should be warned against his bad deed and his lagging behind in the house from the congregational prayer. And Allah is the Helper. Yes.
