Question
Regarding Friday prayer, is it obligatory during the precautionary period? This is considering that mosques are open with caution, testing, distancing, and masks. Sometimes they discover cases and close the mosque for a while, but this is rare. Is it possible to pray at home out of concern for oneself, family, and the elderly?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Congregational prayer is obligatory and is not waived by these excuses; because it is possible to take precautions, and God knows best.
