Congregational Prayer While Traveling for Those Who Hear the Adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: If we are traveling for leisure and will stay in a town for less than four days, is it permissible for us to pray the obligatory prayers in congregation at home, or must we go to the mosque?

Answer:
If you have a mosque where you can hear the adhan, you must go to the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “There is no prayer…” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever hears the call to prayer and does not respond, he has no prayer, except forمن سمع النداء فلم يجب فلا صلاة له إلا من
Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352
This is a rebuke, and it is reported both as marfu' (traced to the Prophet) and mawquf (stopping at a Companion).
There is no prayer for the neighbor of the mosque except in the mosqueلا صلاة لجار المسجد إلا في المسجد
Sunan ad-Daraqutni 3:592
Yes.
