The answer

If performing congregational prayer in the mosque leads to harm to oneself or one's property, it is permissible for a Muslim to pray at home as an Imam for his family. If the fear subsides, then the establishment of religious rituals becomes obligatory. One should endure expected harm in the path of Allah, remembering the situation of the Prophet and his companions. Allah Almighty says: "But if you are patient and fear Allah, their plot will not harm you at all," and He says: "O you who have believed, be patient and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may succeed."
