Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the condition for the obligation of the congregational prayer hearing the call to prayer in isolation?

Answer:
Yes, if he is in a place where he can hear the call to prayer, provided the weather is clear and there are no obstacles.
Q: Does the comparison between the prayer of the individual and the congregational prayer indicate that there is some dispensation for an excuse or ...?
A: It indicates the validity of the prayer, but as for the dispensation, the hadith does not indicate it. There is no dispensation for him except for an excuse.
Q: ....... the takbirs?
A: No, there is no basis for the takbirs. The takbirs can be heard from a distance; because they can be heard from a distance, the normal voice is heard when the sounds are quiet and when there is the ability to hear. But if it is times of ..... or shouting or ......, it is not a criterion. This is if he is in a place where he would hear it were it not for the obstacles, in which case he is obligated to make an effort. And if he makes an effort, even from a distance, and hears the voice of the mu'adhdhin, this is better and greater and more excellent, a great good.
