CONCERNING PRAYER IN JAMAA'AH:
Prayer in Jamaa'ah is acceptable only if he prays it
with the Muslim Jamaa'ah in the mosque - since Allaah
ta'aalaa did not only order Prayer but also added to it -
And bow down your heads with those who bow down (in
worship). [2:43] - and he is not allowed to suffice with
praying in his home and leave the Jamaa'ah of the
Muslims.
And the Messenger (S) ordered every fit and well Muslim
to pray in the Mosque and desired to burn those who
remained in their houses - as occurs in 'Saheeh al-
Bukhaaree' and 'Saheeh Muslim' from Aboo Hurairah (R). He
(S) did not burn the houses because of the presence of
women and children on whom Prayer in the mosque is not
obligatory.
