The ruling on the prayer of one who hears the call in his house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Most of the questions are on the topic of the lesson. We only answer questions on the topic of the lesson or something close to it. As for asking about partisan matters and what so-and-so said, that is not our business. We did not come for these matters. What?
The questioner:
Is it permissible for a traveler to pray in his house while he hears?
The Shaykh:
The call? No, my brother, it is not permissible for you to pray in your house. The one who hears the call and is near the mosque must go and pray in the mosque with the congregation. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352 This is general for the traveler and others. Whoever hears the call and is near the mosque must go and pray with the Muslims. Why would he pray in his house? Is he a traveler or not? Yes.

من سمع النداء فلم يجب فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر.
