What is the ruling on relying on the adhan of a neighbor for the Muslim's prayer if he missed the prayer with the congregation, for example?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : ... When we came to pray Maghrib, one of the brothers called the adhan, then your eminence ordered him to call the iqamah, and we know that the adhan for Maghrib had been called?
The Shaykh : The adhan of the neighbor is sufficient for us, do you know their saying: "The adhan of the neighbor is sufficient for us," but was this before this?
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Excuse me, not yet... the brother here.
There is a hadith among the scholars of hadith titled: The Hadith of the One Who Prays Badly, the Hadith of the One Who Prays Badly, and it is about a person who prayed while the Messenger was watching him and he prayed badly, so the Messenger (peace be upon him) taught him how to pray, and the title of this hadith was set as: The Hadith of the One Who Prays Badly. The hadith was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim in their "Sahihayn" from the hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: "A man came to the mosque to pray, and when he finished his prayer, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah.'" He said:Sahih al-Bukhari 6251. He went back and repeated the prayer, but it was a copy of the first one; because he does not know how to do it any other way, and after he finished the prayer, he came to the Messenger and said: "Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah." He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 6251. And so three times, when he said to him (peace be upon him) the third time: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2692Sahih (Darussalam). He said: "By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I do not know how to do it any other way; so teach me." He said: . The adhan and iqamah in some narrations of the hadith in "Sunan Abu Dawud": .
Another questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah, may Allah touch you with good.
The takbir of ihram. Sahih Muslim 397a, in a narration: . So the adhan and iqamah which the majority of worshippers outside the mosque neglect, this is negligence on their part or ignorance of this sunnah (recommended practice) which came in this hadith in "al-Sahih".
And perhaps it is useful to mention what is more important than that; because we are talking about the adhan and iqamah for the congregational prayer outside the mosque, but now I want to speak to a person who wants to pray alone; whether in his house or in his courtyard or in his desert; wherever he prays alone; so it is sunnah (recommended practice) for him to call the adhan and iqamah; because it is authentically reported from the Messenger (peace be upon him) that he said:. "Ard qayyin" means a desert land, as they say "shool" in some languages, , he prayed behind him, he was praying alone, but he was not praying alone, and we can say: he is praying alone if he did not call the adhan and iqamah, he is praying alone, but if he called the adhan and iqamah, he prayed behind him from the creation of Allah what its two ends cannot be seen; who are they? Either the angels described as being [At-Tahrim 66:6], or from the believers of the jinn, so the adhan and iqamah are not specific to the mosque, but rather it is remembrance of Allah and a great Islamic symbol that the Muslim must maintain, whether he prays in congregation in the mosque or in congregation outside the mosque or prays alone, this is fixed information in the books of authentic sunnah (recommended practice) and it is obligatory upon us to explain it to you so that you are aware of your religion as your Lord said in His Book: [Yusuf 12:108] - the Messenger - [Yusuf 12:108].
Another questioner : ... He prayed and did not... he forgot or was not in the prayer... .
The Shaykh : No, what do you say: he forgot; because when you say he forgot, you ruin your question.
Another questioner : He did not call the iqamah.
The Shaykh : I am telling you.
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : That is what you say; because you want to ask that now one, like your story or like the brother here, heard this sermon and this guidance and the hadiths; nevertheless he stood up according to habit, not out of forgetting; because forgetting is[Al-Baqarah 2:286], why am I telling you to remove the word forgetting; because you know, there is no blame, a person in Ramadan if he ate food and drink and was forgetting, then Allah has fed him and given him drink; therefore remove the word forgetting; because you say: he prayed and did not call the adhan and did not call the iqamah; is his prayer valid or not? We say: Yes, his prayer is valid; because the adhan and iqamah are not a pillar of the prayer. Did you get your answer now? Ah, and after you get this answer, do you feel with me completely that your introduction of forgetting in your question has no taste!! [The Shaykh laughs!].
The questioner : Yes, I do.
The Shaykh : The adhan of the neighbor is sufficient for us, do you know their saying: "The adhan of the neighbor is sufficient for us," but was this before this?
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Excuse me, not yet... the brother here.

He said:
Wa 'Alaikas Salam (returned his greeting). Go back and pray as you have not prayed (properly).
وعليك السلام ، ارجع فصلِّ ؛ فإنك لم تصلِّWa 'Alaikas Salam (returned his greeting). Go back and pray as you have not prayed (properly).
وعليك السلام ، ارجع فصلِّ ؛ فإنك لم تصلِّgo back and pray for indeed you have not prayed.
ارجع فصلِّ ؛ فإنك لم تصلِّWhen you stand up for prayer, perform wudu' (the ablution for prayer) as Allah has commanded you, then face the qiblah (the direction of prayer), then call the adhan - here is the point - then call the iqamah
إذا أنت قمْتَ إلى الصلاة فتوضَّأ كما أمرك الله ، ثم استقبل القبلة ، ثمَّ أذِّن - هنا الشاهد - ثمَّ أقِمْThen call the adhan, then call the iqamah, then say the takbir
ثم أذِّن ، ثم أقِمْ ، ثم كبِّرAnother questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah, may Allah touch you with good.
Then say the takbir
ثم كبِّرand then recite whatever you conveniently can from the Qur'an
ثم اقرأ ما تيسَّر من القرآنThen recite with Umm al-Qur'an (Surat al-Fatihah), then bow until you are settled in bowing, then raise your head until you are settled standing, then prostrate until you are settled in prostration, then raise your head until you are settled sitting, then prostrate until you are settled in prostration, then do that in all your prayer, and if you do that, you have completed your prayer, and if you diminish from that, you have diminished from your prayer
ثم اقرأ بأمِّ القرآن ، ثم اركع حتى تطمئنَّ راكعًا ، ثم ارفع حتى تطمئنَّ قائمًا ، ثم اسجد حتى تطمئنَّ ساجدًا ، ثم ارفع حتى تطمئنَّ جالسًا ، ثم اسجد حتى تطمئنَّ ساجدًا ، ثم افعَلْ ذلك في صلاتك كلِّها ، فإذا أنتَ فعلْتَ ذلك فقد أتمَمْتَ صلاتك ، وإن أنت أنقصْتَ من ذلك فقد أنقصْتَ من صلاتكAnd perhaps it is useful to mention what is more important than that; because we are talking about the adhan and iqamah for the congregational prayer outside the mosque, but now I want to speak to a person who wants to pray alone; whether in his house or in his courtyard or in his desert; wherever he prays alone; so it is sunnah (recommended practice) for him to call the adhan and iqamah; because it is authentically reported from the Messenger (peace be upon him) that he said:
If a Muslim is present for prayer in a desert land
إذا حضرَتِ المسلم الصلاة في أرض قيِّنSo he called the adhan and the iqamah; behind him prayed from among Allah’s creation such a multitude that their end could not be seen
فأذَّنَ وأقام ؛ صلَّى خلفه من خلق الله ما لا يُرى طرفهthey do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.
لَا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَThis is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me
قُلْ هَذِهِ سَبِيلِي أَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّهِ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِيI and those who follow me. And exalted is Allah; and I am not of those who associate others with Him."
أَنَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِي وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَAnother questioner : ... He prayed and did not... he forgot or was not in the prayer... .

Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَاThe questioner : Yes, I do.
