Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a traveler arrives in the town he is traveling to, is it obligatory for him to attend the congregation and pray with them?
Answer:
Yes, if he hears the adhan and is close to it, and he is able to attend, it is obligatory for him. Whoever hears the call and does not come to it has no prayer, except for one who has an excuse.
