The answer

Congregational prayer is obligatory for an able-bodied man. If the mosque adjacent to your house is deserted, then you must pray in congregation at another mosque. However, if it is not deserted and you pray alone in it due to the absence of worshippers, or if you are an Imam and pray alone, you will receive the reward of congregational prayer. You must urge your neighbors to revive the mosque. If you do not find anyone to pray with you, then go to another mosque to attain the virtue of congregational prayer.
