The ruling on going to a mosque that is far from the sound

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Our master Abu Mazin, he brought out a hadith from al-Asim. He said: If you hear the adhan, you respond. If you are healed after that in the west, it is seen that the mosque is possible, but at a far distance where its sound is not heard. So we say: it is obligatory for you to take a car to go, because the mosque is seen, but at a distance of so many kilometers? Yes, it requires so much to go outside the travel.

The Shaykh : They say that Zirqat al-Yamamah could see something at a distance of a three-day journey. So if a man has strong eyesight and sees the mosque at a distance of a three-day journey, we tell him: go to the mosque to pray the Zuhr prayer, and he sits for three days without arriving just to pray Zuhr for three days, meaning the distance is considered far. In any case, this comes, if Allah wills, in the disagreement: is it obligatory to have congregation in the mosque, or is the obligation the realization of congregation even in the house? There is disagreement. If we say the obligation is the realization of congregation even in the house, it means it is permissible to pray in congregation in our house or in the mosque next to us. But the disagreement in this will come.
