Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If we are a group of listeners at one of our homes on an occasion, and the mosque is five hundred meters away from us, is there anything required of us to pray in the mosque, or is it obligatory for us to pray in the mosque?
Answer:
It is obligatory for you, as long as you can hear the call and are able to attend, that you pray in the mosque. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 10:352. Yes.

من سمع النداء فلم يجب فلا صلاة له إلا من عذر
