Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
The hadith:

There is no prayer for one who hears the call and does not respond

لا صلاة لمن سمع النداء ولم يلبِّ

Does this mean there is no complete prayer?

Answer:
The correct view among the scholars is that it means a complete prayer; because the congregation is not a condition for the validity of the prayer, it is obligatory, but if one prays without a congregation, the prayer is valid despite the sin.
