Praying at home when a highway prevents access to the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
The last question, Abdullah.

The questioner:
The last question, Honorable Shaykh. He says: If one sees a very fast highway and is walking after the highway, does he cross the highway and go pray, or does he pray at home?

The Shaykh:
Yes?

The presenter:
This is the question.

The questioner:
I do not see it, and there is a mosque after the highway. The highway is very fast, and the cars in it are speeding. I do not see it on the same road; the cars hit me. And there is a mosque after the highway. What do I do, Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
If there is danger to you, and there is a highway for cars between you and the mosque, and you do not have a driver, then you pray in your home, because this is an excuse and there is danger to you. Yes, that is correct.

The presenter:
Thank you, thank you, caller.
