Missing congregational prayer because of rain
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. We have only one umbrella, so when it is raning, we have to make a difficult choice: either my father can go, or I can. We cannot go both.

Quran memorizers leaving the congregational prayer
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I have a question.

Praying in congregation near end of prayer time
Assalaamu alaykum. I like to pray on time. My husband has the habit of always delaying it. He always tells me to wait for him so that we can pray in congregation.

Praying in congregation at home if one is exempted from praying in the mosque
Salaam.I heard that congregation is Fard inside a mosque. But I live far away from a mosque. I'm in the U.S so I can't hear the iqamah. This means I MUST pray the congregation at home (correct?).
