The ruling on praying the 'Asr prayer alone in the farm
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a man who has a farm and livestock. I usually go out to it before the 'Asr prayer, which causes me to pray 'Asr alone in my farm. What is the ruling on this? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If it is far away and you cannot hear the call to prayer, there is no harm. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:308. So if it is far away and no one is calling to prayer, you and whoever is with you should pray 'Asr there. But if you have a mosque nearby and you can hear the call to prayer, it is obligatory for you and whoever is with you to pray in the mosque. However, if it is in a land far from the mosques, you and whoever is with you should pray there. And praise be to Allah.

Answer:
If it is far away and you cannot hear the call to prayer, there is no harm. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever hears the call for prayer and and does not come (to the mosque for prayer), his prayer will not be accepted from him, unless he has a (legitimate) excuse.
