Praying in the farm despite hearing the adhan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. He says: I pray inside the farm because the mosque is about two kilometers away from me. Is my prayer valid? And I hear the adhan through loudspeakers. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If you are close to the mosque, it is obligatory for you to attend and pray in congregation in the mosque, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352. However, if you are far from the mosque and attending it involves hardship due to the distance, then it is not obligatory for you to attend, and you may pray in your place, even if you hear the call through a loudspeaker. This is because the criterion is hearing the adhan with the unamplified voice. As for hearing the adhan through a loudspeaker, it is heard by those who are close and by those who are far, so it is not considered. However, going to the mosque, even if it is far, is more complete in reward and greater in recompense due to the many steps taken to the mosque. Also, because some men in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were far from the mosque, so they wanted to move closer and live around the mosque. When this was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he encouraged them to remain in their homes so that their footprints would be recorded. Yes.

Answer:
If you are close to the mosque, it is obligatory for you to attend and pray in congregation in the mosque, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever 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
