The answer

Congregational prayer in the mosque is one of the best deeds, and maintaining it is more important, even with a slight difficulty. If it becomes difficult for you to attend it in the mosque, then be keen to perform it congregationally at home with your family. It is permissible to perform congregational prayer at home and in the desert, based on the saying of the Prophet, peace be upon him: "Wherever a man is overtaken by prayer, he should pray there." However, if you are unable to do so, then you are excused from congregational prayer if you fear the occurrence of illness or harm to your livelihood.
