The answer

1. The accountable individual is addressed with religious obligations as soon as they reach puberty, based on the hadith: "The pen is lifted from three: from the madman whose mind is overcome until he recovers, from the sleeper until he awakens, and from the boy until he reaches puberty."

2. If the mother fears harm for her child from going to the mosque, obedience to her is obligatory, and he can pray in congregation at home.

3. There is no evidence prohibiting good deeds or denying their reward for those who miss congregational prayer. The majority of scholars do not consider congregational prayer in the mosque to be obligatory.
