Forgoing Salaah with Jamaat in the Musjid
Question
For a house warming day, some Ulama are supporting people to read namaz (in jamaat) in a house that is subuhi instead of going to the mosque. Is it permissible to do that?
Answer
To leave the musjid without any valid reason is impermissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
