(Fatwa: 1678/1336/L=1430)
Performing salah with jama?ah is sunnah muakkadah, some scholars have called it wajib as well; the reward of congregational salah is 27 times higher than that of individual salah. Therefore, you should not make a habit of missing jama?ah. There is no matter if there is some compelling reason for leaving the jama?ah and performing salah in house. In these cases also, it is better take one two persons and perform salah with congregation so that they can get the reward of jama?ah. It is severe sin to be habitual of missing jama?ah, the hadith gives a stern warning for the same.
