Is it permissible to pray at home for fear of being tempted by young men?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no blame upon you for missing congregational prayers in the mosque until you recover. It is preferable that you pray in congregation at home. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed for those whose hearts were afflicted with desire, saying: "O Allah, forgive his sin, purify his heart, and fortify his chastity."
