Does one who prays in congregation at home attain the virtue of congregational prayer?

Question:
He also asks, saying: If I pray with my brother or my father in the house, do we thereby attain the virtue of congregational prayer?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a Muslim to pray in the house, neither with his father nor with his brother. Rather, it is obligatory for all of them to go out to the mosques and pray with the Muslims, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It was asked of Ibn Abbas: What is the excuse? He said: Illness and fear. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to a blind man who said: “O Messenger of Allah, I have no guide to lead me to the mosque. Do I have a dispensation to pray in my house?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: He said: Yes. He said: And he did not grant him a dispensation, even though he was blind and had no guide to lead him, after he could hear the call to prayer. So if one is in a place where he can hear the call to prayer, it is obligatory for him to head to the mosque and pray with the people.
As for if he is far away, and it is difficult for him to attend because he is far and cannot hear the call to prayer, then it is not obligatory for him. He prays with those around him in his place. Yes.
