The ruling on responding to the mu'adhdhin outside the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, is it a condition for responding that a person be in a mosque?
Answer:
It is not specified that one must be in any particular place. Respond to the mu'adhdhin whenever you hear him, whether in the desert, a woman in her home, or a sick man in his home. It is not a condition for this that one be in the mosque. Whenever one hears the call on the road, in the desert, in a car, in an airplane, at sea, or on land, he responds to the mu'adhdhin. This is the Sunnah. Praise be to Allah.
