Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If I am in a camp on the outskirts of Riyadh, is it obligatory for me to go to perform the Friday prayer, given that the mosque is more than twenty kilometers from the camp?
Answer:
If you can hear the adhan without a loudspeaker, meaning you hear the adhan plainly without a loudspeaker, you must attend[Al-Jumu'ah 62:9] But if you are as you described, twenty kilometers away, it is not required of you. Yes.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ
