Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We live in a residence shared by a group of students, all in one place. Is it permissible for us to pray in congregation in our residence, or are we required to go out to the mosque?
Answer:
If there is a mosque nearby where you can hear the adhan, it is not permissible for you to pray in your home. Rather, it is obligatory for you to attend the mosque, respond to the call, and pray with the Muslims. Yes.
