Shortening and Combining Prayers in a Farm Near the Mosque and Responding to the Call to Prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I go to the Harimlaya province every week and sit in a farm, and I hear the adhan from the mosque. Is it permissible for me to pray in my farm, shortening and combining, with my colleagues, and we are many? Or is it obligatory for me to respond to the call?

Answer:
If it is a town that belongs to you, then you have no right to shorten or combine prayers in your town. But if it is not a town that belongs to you, and you go there to rest, and you hear the call and are able to attend—meaning, if you hear the call without a loudspeaker, you are required to attend if you hear the call and do not come, then there is no prayer for him except due to an excuse. If you are able to attend the call, it is obligatory for you to attend if you can hear it without a loudspeaker. As for the loudspeaker, you hear it from far away, a long distance.
