The Ruling on the Friday Prayer for One Who Is Far from the Mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says that he is fifteen kilometers away from the main mosque and that he does not hear the adhan. Is it obligatory for him to make the effort to attend the Friday prayer despite the hardship, or should he pray it as the midday prayer?

Answer:
If he hears the adhan with the unamplified voice, he is required to attend. However, if he only hears it through a loudspeaker, he is not required to attend; he should pray it as the midday prayer. Yes.
