A person whose home is two kilometers from the mosque and who cannot perform the 'Isha' and Fajr prayers because the house is in a remote agricultural area outside
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The mosque is two kilometers from our home, and I am unable to perform the Fajr and 'Isha' prayers at the mosque because the house is in a remote agricultural area, as I explained, outside the city. Thank you.
The Shaykh : If it is difficult for him, involving severe hardship, there is nothing wrong with him praying at home, especially if he does not hear the call to prayer without the microphone.
However, if it is not difficult for him, but there is some fatigue involved, let him attend, and his reward will be according to his endurance and according to the hardship he has suffered.
And let him know that Allah records for him reward for every step he takes to the mosque, raising his rank thereby and removing a sin from him. If he performs wudu' at home, perfecting the wudu', and then leaves his home for the mosque, with nothing but the prayer causing him to leave, let him be patient and seek reward, even if his home is far away.
The Banu Salama intended to relocate from their homes to near the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: So we ask Allah the Exalted to help our brother with himself and with attending the congregation of the Muslims, so that reward and recompense may be recorded for him.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
