Question:
He says: We are a group of colleagues living in university housing, and our number exceeds ten. Is it permissible for us to pray in congregation in the residence, since the mosque is very far from our housing?
Answer:
If you do not hear the adhan, pray in your place. However, if you hear the adhan, you must respond to it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam) The intended meaning of "hearing" here is hearing without a loudspeaker. If you can hear it if the adhan is called without a loudspeaker, you must attend. Yes.
