Question:
This questioner says: We live in a place that is kilometers away from the mosque, and without a loudspeaker, we do not hear the adhan. Is it obligatory for us to respond to the call to prayer?

By Allah, ask for a mosque. You and your neighbors should ask for the Friday prayer to be established in your area. Yes. Do not leave the Friday prayer, saying it is far from us. Ask for the Friday prayer to be established in one of the nearby mosques. Is it permissible to have multiple mosques for the sake of need? Yes.
