The ruling on congregational prayer for one who does not hear the adhan

Question:
We return to the brothers once again; they are still requesting to perhaps resolve the issue and begin by presenting the question of the brothers in the city of Los Angeles, now? Brother 'Abd al-Qadir, please present the question. Yes. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. In the name of Allah, and may prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. The brothers from the Strangers' Mosque in Britain, in Newton, they send their greetings to you and ask you for supplication and success. Peace be upon you. They have a set of questions. The first question. Congregational prayer is obligatory in the mosque with the congregation of Muslims. And we are in Britain. We do not hear the call to prayer. And some of us live far from the mosque. Does this fall under that distinction?

Answer:
Congregational prayer is obligatory when it is possible. The one who is unable to do so, I heard him. And the one who is close to the mosque, he has no excuse except that he says, "I do not hear the adhan." He can set an alarm clock, and when the time for prayer comes, it alerts him to the prayer, and he goes to the mosque. So the solution is easy in this matter, and praise be to Allah.
As for the one who is far from the mosque, where there are distances between him and the mosque, he is excused and prays in his home or with those around him from his neighbors or his children, praying in congregation in their place, because the mosque is far from them. And if they exert themselves and attend the mosque, that is better for them. Yes.
