Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: We gather with some relatives on certain days at a farm we have, and we can hear the adhan, as the mosque is about five hundred meters away. However, the mosque has no mu'adhdhin or regular imam, and the tarawih prayer is not held there in Ramadan. The question is: Do we pray in congregation at the farm?
Answer:
No, as long as there is a mosque around you from which you can hear the adhan, and it is only five hundred meters—half a kilometer—away, it is obligatory for you to respond and pray in the mosque. Yes, in the empty space. As for tarawih, it is permissible to pray it at the farm if there is no one in the mosque; you can pray it at the farm. As for the obligatory prayers, you pray them in the mosque, as long as you are the people of the farm and the mosque is close to you. You say there is no imam and no mu'adhdhin; make it a good deed by appointing an imam and a mu'adhdhin there, or ask the Ministry of Awqaf to appoint an imam and a mu'adhdhin for it. Yes.
