The traveler attending the congregation if he hears the call to prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a traveler is hearing the call to prayer, is it obligatory for him to attend the congregation?

The Shaykh:
The traveler.

The questioner:
If he is hearing the call to prayer, is it obligatory for him to attend the congregational prayer?

The Shaykh:
If he is staying near the mosque and hears the call to prayer, it is obligatory for him, even if he is a traveler. It is permissible for him to shorten the prayer, but he is required to pray with the congregation because he hears the call. However, if he is traveling on his way and hears the call, it is not required of him. Yes.
