May Allah reward you with good, and may He bless you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on praying in the open with a group of colleagues without an adhan?
Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement, and the correct view is that the adhan is obligatory, that the adhan is obligatory while traveling and in the city for the congregational prayer. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih al-Bukhari 628 Some scholars say that the obligation of the adhan is only in the city, while while traveling it is recommended, but the correct view is that it is obligatory for the congregation in the city and while traveling once the time has entered, yes.
