The traveler’s prayer in the apartment next to the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The traveler who lives in a building next to the mosque and hears the call to prayer, is it permissible for him to pray in the apartment and not go out to the mosque?

Answer:
No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever hears the call and does not come, his prayer is not valid, except for those who have an excuse.من سمع النداء فلم يأته فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam)
Therefore, it is not permissible for him to hear the adhan, be a neighbor to the mosque, and say, “I am a traveler.”
