The answer

There is a divergence of opinions among jurists regarding the obligation of congregational prayer. Some mandate it in the mosque, while others do not. Some consider it recommended. However, there is no sin upon one who is unable to perform the prayer in the mosque, for Allah Almighty says: "We do not burden a soul beyond its capacity." Therefore, one should strive to pray in congregation at the mosque as much as possible. If that becomes difficult, one should endeavor to perform it in congregation, even if not in the mosque. If it is impossible to perform it in congregation, then there is no blame in performing it individually.
