Congregational prayer is obligatory and must be performed in the mosques

Is congregational prayer obligatory or a recommended practice? And what is the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted, “I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan”: [al-Baqarah:43]? Many people are lax about congregational prayer while they hear the call and are close to the mosque. What is the ruling in this case, and is the prayer of one who hears the call but does not go to the mosque accepted?
Answer: Congregational prayer is obligatory, and it is obligatory for one who hears the call to respond to the mu'adhdhin. He has no right to pray alone, nor in his house. Even if they are a group in the house, they do not have that right. Rather, it is obligatory for them to pray with the Muslims in the mosques, in the houses of Allah the Exalted, as the noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A blind man asked him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: Muslim narrated it in his Sahih, and in the other narration: .
It is established in the two Sahihs that he (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to burn down the houses of those who lagged behind, . This indicates that performing it in the mosques with the Muslims is an obligatory matter, and he has no right to pray alone or in his house. Rather, he must participate with his Muslim brothers and respond to the caller. Whoever neglects this has resembled the hypocrites in this action. The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) differed on whether his prayer is valid? There are two opinions:
The majority are of the opinion that it is valid, but with sin.
Some scholars said: It is not valid, because he prays alone and leaves the congregation. It is obligatory for the believer to beware of lagging behind, to pray with his Muslim brothers, and to avoid resembling the hypocrites. And Allah is the Helper. Yes.
