The traveler's prayer in the apartment while hearing the adhan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: When I am traveling and I stay in a town and I hear the adhan of the mu'adhdhin, but I pray in the apartment because I am a traveler, what do you say about my doing this?

Answer:
We say that this action is dangerous, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Whoever hears the call for prayer and and does not come (to the mosque for prayer), his prayer will not be accepted from him, unless he has a (legitimate) excuse.من سمع النداء فلم يأت فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
Bulugh al-Maram 2:308
, and you heard the call, and it is close to you, and the mosque is next to you, so you go and pray with the Muslims in response to this hadith. As for if you disobeyed and prayed in the apartment and shortened the prayer, your prayer is valid, but it is contrary to the command. Yes.
