Performing salaah at home due to illness
Question
If one has the flu or running stomach does he have to go to the masjid for prayers and jumuah?
Answer
If the sickness weakens him and going and coming to the musjid becomes even more difficult for him then he may perform the namaaz at home.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
