Congregational prayer for one whose mosque is far from his residence

Question:
There is a question related to this, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, regarding the possibility, for example, in some places, of the mosque or the Islamic center being far from the students' housing. So, does he pray, for example, in his house, or is it necessary for him to pray with the congregation?

Answer:
This is conditioned by hearing the adhan. If the adhan can be heard, then he is required to attend; he is required to attend. But if the mosque is far such that the call cannot be heard, then he is not required to attend. If he goes, he is doing good and gaining extra reward. And if he prays in his place, there is no harm; because he is excused. And if there are men in his house, or Muslim neighbors who pray together in their place, [he joins them]. And if he has no one with him except himself, he prays alone. Yes.
