Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it taken from the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1553Hasan (Darussalam) that whenever the prayer time arrives and we are in a group, we pray in the place where we are, even if the mosque is not far away?
Answer:
No, I do not know.Sunan Ibn Majah 793Sahih (Darussalam) It was asked, “And what is the excuse?” He said, “Fear or illness.” So when you hear the call to prayer, respond to it, especially if you are near the mosque.

the Earth has been made as a Masjid and purifier for me
وجعلت لي الأرض مسجدا وطهوراAnswer:
No, I do not know.
Whoever hears the call and does not come, his prayer is not valid, except for those who have an excuse.
من سمع النداء فلم يأته فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
