Offering Salah in rest houses


A: All Muslim men have to offer the Five Obligatory Daily Prayers in the Masjid because it is for this reason that the Masjids are built and because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Anyone who hears the Adhan and does not respond (i.e. Does not come to the Masjid for Prayer), there is no (reward for the) Salah for him except with an excuse. Also, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said he would burn the people who did not offer Salah in the Masjid without even asking whether they had offered congregational Salah at their homes or not. He (peace be upon him) also did not give permission for the blind person, who did not find anyone to take him to the Masjid, to offer Salah at home. In fact, he ordered him to answer the call of the Mu'adhin (caller to Prayer) and to offer congregational Salah in the Masjid. Besides, offering Salah in congregation in the Masjid has been the tradition of Muslims in the past and in the present. (Part No. 6; Page No. 188) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
