Scholars have differed regarding the obligation of congregational prayer, and the most supported opinion is that it is an individual obligation. However, the sin is related to abandoning congregational prayer, not to the mentioned images. Destroying the aforementioned images is forbidden by Islamic law because they have considerable monetary value, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade wasting wealth. Wasting wealth means spending it in ways not prescribed by Islamic law or exposing it to damage, and this includes everything that has monetary value.
