The Ruling on Missing the Congregation Due to Shyness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Khalid Salman, from Makkah al-Mukarramah, says: I have a brother who is extremely shy of people to the extent that he does not pray in the mosque, as he prays at home because of this shyness. What is the ruling on his prayer in such a case?
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to fear Allah and to pray with the people. Teach him and direct him to good. This shyness has no basis; it is weakness, incapacity, and laziness. It is not permissible. Rather, he must hasten to pray with the people, and it is not permissible for him to pray at home. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
