Assalamu Alaikum Orahmatullahi Wabarakatuh how are you all hope everyone is well. Praying in congregation is very important and an act of great reward. The importance and virtues of Jamaat are very high. It is proved by the hadith of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, the sayings of the Companions, and the deeds of religion in the old age. In spite of this, it is mentioned in the Qur'an - Allah Ta'ala does not force any person to do anything beyond his ability.
The requirement of this verse is:- When a person performs ablution, there is an excuse for him not to go to congregation. The things that are declared as ablution in the Shariah, due to which there is an excuse not to go to Jamaat. Let us know in detail about that ablution.
14 difficulty to leave congregation
1. Not having clothes to cover the satar.
2. There is such mud on the way to the mosque that it is difficult to walk, but Imam Abu Yusuf (RA) asked Imam Abu Hanifa (RA), what is your opinion about going to the mosque to pray in congregation if there is mud and water on the road? He said, I don't like to make Jamaat Taraq.
3. When it is raining heavily, Imam Muhammad (RA) wrote in Muatta that it is permissible not to attend Jamaat in such a situation; But it is better to go to the mosque and pray in congregation.
4. The cold is so severe that there is a risk of developing or increasing any disease due to extreme cold when going outside or going to the mosque.
5. If there is a danger of theft of goods when going to the mosque.
6. If there is fear of encountering an enemy while going to the mosque.
7. If there is a danger of meeting and being harassed by a tax collector on the way to the mosque, and if he cannot afford to pay the tax. But if he is able to pay the tax (or he hesitates to pay the tax) then he will be known as Zaleem. He is not allowed to argue in congregation.
8. If it is such a dark night that the way cannot be seen, but if Allah gives the ability to provide light, then the Jama'at should not be tarak.
9. When a heavy dust storm blows in the dark night.
10. If there is a risk that the patient will suffer or fear if the person attending to the patient goes to the prayer congregation.
11. If the food is ready or is being prepared, and the hunger is so great that there is no possibility of not concentrating on the prayer if one goes to pray without eating food.
12. If the urinary pressure is too high.
13. If one intends to set out on a journey and there is a fear that the congregational prayer will be delayed and the companions of the caravan will leave. Leaving the train can be compared to this, but the difference is that it takes a long time to get another train after the train, and trains are available several times a day. If you don't get one car, you can go to the next car. But if the loss is greater due to this delay, then there is no objection to the Jamaat arguing. Sharia does not call for such difficulties.
14. If there is an illness that causes immobility, or blindness, lameness or amputation. But a blind person who can easily reach the mosque should not perform Jamaat Taraq.
Basically
If there is a fear of losing one's life or a limb or a fear of being insulted by someone while going to the congregation. Or if there is a possibility of someone else's death or limb loss or illness due to his going to the Jamaat, then the Shari'ah gives permission to leave the Jamaat. Because of the above Huzur it is permissible to turn the Jamaat.
Will this Azuru Prastha person get the reward of the Jamaat?
However, it is permissible not to go to Jamaat because of the above-mentioned Huzur. But the best thing is to go and pray with the congregation. If a person is unable to attend Jamaat due to the mentioned ablution, then he will be deprived of the reward of Jamaat. And will not receive the virtues and rewards of the congregation. When the time of Jamaat arrived and he regained consciousness, Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam came to the Jamaat with two Companions on his shoulders. He has always encouraged people to pray with the Jama'at and his importance is explained by virtue. O Dwini brother, let us pledge to pray together with the congregation.

Conclusion
First of all we thank Allah Rabbul Alamin that Allah Rabbul Alamin has kept us healthy. If we or any of our friends or relatives are performing ablution due to the above mentioned ablution then we should inform him of this provision of Shariat. May Allah Ta'ala grant us Tawfik to reach others with His Shari'ah.
