The traveler's prayer in the mosque when he hears the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it obligatory for a traveler, when he hears the adhan, to pray in the mosque, and why?

Answer:
Yes, when he hears the adhan, it is obligatory for him to pray in the mosque, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever hears the call to prayer and does not respond, he has no prayer, except one who has an excuseمن سمع النداء فلم يجب فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352
If he hears the call and is near the mosque, it is obligatory for him to pray with the Muslims and respond to the mu'adhdhin. He does not say, "I am a traveler, I will pray alone," or "We will pray in congregation at our house, and the mosque is right next to us." This is not permissible. Yes.
