Is it permissible to pray and follow the imam of the Haram through the television?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible for me to follow the imam of the Haram if I live in a nearby apartment and hear the imam's voice through the television?

Answer:
No, this is not permissible. You should attend the Haram and pray with the people, lining up with the Muslims, and not pray in your apartment following the imam of the Haram, especially since you said you are praying behind the screen. The screen does not indicate following the imam; the imam may not be in the direction of the screen. Yes.
