The answer

Congregational prayer in the mosque is obligatory for the able-bodied man who hears the call [to prayer], unless there is an excuse. If his going to the mosque would harm his livelihood, it is permissible for him to pray at his workplace, and if he finds a congregation, he should pray with them. The prayer of an individual is valid, even if he deliberately misses the congregation, because congregational prayer is not a condition for the validity of the prayer, but whoever abandons it misses out on a great reward.
