Question:
The travelers hear the adhan. Is it permissible for them to leave the congregational prayer in the mosque and pray alone?
Answer:
If they hear the adhan and are close to the mosque, it is obligatory for them to go to the mosque and pray with the Muslims, and they must not isolate themselves from the Muslims, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to the blind man:Sunan Abi Dawud 552Hasan Sahih (Al-Albani). And in another hadith: Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352. They wanted to demolish the houses of the hypocrites because they did not attend the mosque, even though it is possible that they were praying in their homes, but their prayer in their homes does not suffice them when they are able to attend the mosque. Yes.

أتسمع النداء؟ قال نعم، قال أجبWhoever hears the call to prayer and does not respond, he has no prayer, except one who has an excuse
من سمع النداء فلم يجب فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
